PREPARE TO LAND THE BEST JOB OFFER
The Career Bridge Program’s singular focus is helping students land the most desirable positions in today’s competitive job market. Career Bridge helps students stand out in the candidate field by improving their interview skills, sharpening their networking strategy, and identifying the roles that best suit their individual strengths.

​With decades of combined experience across the CRE landscape, we know what to look for in new entrants. Career Bridge pools these insights into a comprehensive program that gives you everything you need to know when starting out.

Our goal is to set you up for
success
Formal education and career centers prepare students to be successful across a range of industries. However, landing the role that will jumpstart a successful CRE career requires a more targeted and tactical approach. Key topics include:
  • A strong understanding of available CRE positions and roles to help your search
  • A proven roadmap for developing a valuable lifelong industry network
  • Detailed feedback on your interviewing strengths and weaknesses
  • Resume review and recommendations for optimizing it for CRE employers
  • Reliable, clear-cut answers to common technical interview questions

​Career Bridge is an intensive 4-week virtual course delivered in four 90-minute sessions. Coursework runs from July 7th to August 7th.
