PREA Foundation
DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF TALENT

Internship Hiring Opportunities

Launched in 2017 by a coalition of institutional investors, the PREA Foundation is dedicated to developing the next generation of talent for the commercial real estate (CRE) industry. Since our founding, we have built the largest and most comprehensive career pipeline in CRE, resulting in more than 1,300 students being placed in internships across the industry. 

Why Hire Interns Through the PREA Foundation?

Hosting an intern through the PREA Foundation allows LP firms to play a vital role in strengthening the talent pipeline for the entire CRE industry. It’s an investment not only in your firm’s future, but in the long-term success of the industry.

By partnering with the Foundation, LP firms gain direct access to a highly qualified pool of students eager to launch their careers in commercial real estate. Through our grantee organizations, students receive industry-specific training, mentorship, and professional development before arriving at your firm. This preparation ensures that interns are well-prepared to contribute upon arrival at your firm, bringing energy, fresh perspectives, and a commitment to growth.

PREA Foundation Funding to Support LP Internship

The PREA Foundation lowers barriers for both firms and students. We provide funding to cover wages, travel, and living expenses, enabling students to fully participate in their summer internships. For many students, relocation and living costs would otherwise prevent them from accepting these opportunities. By offsetting these expenses, we make it easier for LP firms to attract exceptional talent, ensuring that financial circumstances never become a barrier to participation.
