“The PREA Foundation and SEO were the catalyst for my love of Commercial Real Estate. Their depth of connections, professional development workshops, and intense technical training laid the foundation for my early career. I would not be as far as I am without them.”  

“From guiding me through the interview process for an internship to providing me the tools necessary to succeed as an intern and secure a return offer, the PREA Foundation played a pivotal role in helping me pursue a career in commercial real estate.”

“I feel more than confident that I have the tools, training, and network necessary to build a long and prosperous career in the commercial real estate industry. I’m incredibly thankful to the PREA Foundation for making this journey possible.”

“Through my summer internship, I learned how to analyze investments and evaluate opportunities, which has further fuelled my interest in pursuing a career in real estate. I am deeply grateful for the Foundation’s support, as it not only enhanced my summer but also reinforced my long-term commitment to growing within the real estate industry.”

During my internship, I learned about different asset classes by visiting properties and seeing firsthand how people rely on them. I gained a much deeper appreciation for the sector and a strong interest in pursuing real estate as a long-term career path. I am extremely grateful for PREA Foundation’s support and for helping me take such an important step toward understanding what I want my career to look like.”

"The PREA Foundation provided me with a valuable internship opportunity at NYSTRS to explore an asset class I had never been exposed to before. I am excited to continue exploring careers within CRE and apply the skills and knowledge I gained from this experience."
