CoreNet Apprentice Program A Huge Success
The CoreNet Apprenticeship Program (aka CAP) shepherds smart talented university students into the corporate real estate profession. Coming off the success of 11 summer 2020 interns across 7 host organizations, the CAP Committee is already focused on growing the number of companies who will host and mentor interns in 2021. CBRE, ServiceNow, JLL, & Impec Group are among the host orgs who rave about the success of our pre-vetted students. Many interns have gone on to full-time employment post-graduation. Testimonials by the host and some of the interns are shown below:
"I am so totally amazed at what our interns delivered that we extended their paid internship till the end of this year and possibly into more permanent engagement in 2021. Truthfully, these interns became mentors to me and our Leadership Team at Impec."
Khadija Tufail – Impec intern
"For someone who is new to the field of corporate real estate, I found so much guidance and support within Impec Group and CAP. Everyone was incredibly friendly and an absolute pleasure to work with."
Angela Wang – Impec intern
'As a recent graduate, I was super grateful to get the opportunity to work with Impec and CAP given the current pandemic situation. The entire team welcomed me so warmly and have given me so many opportunities to grow as a designer that I would not have gotten elsewhere. I have met amazing peers and mentors who I am still in touch with."
Robert Teed, Daaf Serne, & Wilton Qiu – ServiceNow Team, Host



"The Corporate Services team has been delighted to have supported the CAP program at ServiceNow. Our CAP intern candidate, Danielle DeWitz, has excelled in her role as a summer intern where she contributed to our future plans for Environmental Sustainability/Real Estate. Her high-quality output will be used when realizing our FY’21 and beyond programs."
Danielle DeWitz – ServiceNow Intern
"The CAP program helped me find a position that was perfectly suited to my goals and career path and develop friendships that I know will last a lifetime. Joining the CAP program has been the single most valuable choice I've made in my academic and professional career."
Shap Roder – CBRE Host

"Robert Springer interned for CBRE this summer and was able to see how CBRE partners with clients to solve problems and deliver solutions. Internships are a great opportunity for CBRE to attract the talent that we need for the future."
Robert Springer - CBRE Intern
"I was able to get an understanding of the different services offered by CBRE. The relationships I built within the originations and with client companies was an unparalleled experience for me."

Women of CoreNet Update
