CREATE at Dominican University Career Fair

CREATE hosted a booth at Dominican University‘s Career Fair on March 20 to recruit students to its Online Fellows program. The university is one of 10 local educational institutions that markets CREATE’s Online Fellows program to its student body through its career center, including Chabot College, California State University – East Bay, Diablo Valley College, Dominican University, Menlo College, Ohlone College, Peralta Community College District, and Saint Mary’s College of California. Pictured are CREATE Director Tory Brubaker, CAE and Dominican University student Fellow Amethyst Bowser.

Combined with the in-person, two semester program offered to San Francisco State University students, CREATE will graduate 70 student Fellows in May which doubles the number of participants over last year.

The program is FREE to students and colleges and provides a 16-module, 32-hour curriculum facilitated by industry subject matter experts. Student Fellows learn the fundamentals of the industry and about the career opportunities in commercial real estate. The experience is enhanced by mentoring, job shadowing, building tours, internships and networking as well as the free career portal that connects students with employers offering internships and entry-level jobs.

If you're not involved in this you are missing a great opportunity. Get involved, participate, contribute.
