Being a first-time partner in The Pitch™ was an eye-opening and rewarding experience for the CBRE team. The active engagement of the CBRE team with the students was a standout feature as we were able to meet with top talent and foster meaningful connections that went beyond the competition itself. The students involved in The Pitch™ showcased an impressive level of preparedness and intellect. Their commitment to understanding industry nuances and their ability to solve and present innovative ideas were commendable. Participating in initiatives like The Pitch™ aligns seamlessly with CBRE’s broader commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and underscores CBRE’s dedication to fostering inclusivity and diversity within the real estate industry by ensuring access to industry knowledge, opportunities, and an influential network of industry leaders. Drawing parallels between The Pitch™ and the commercial real estate landscape is crucial. Both demand innovation, collaboration, strategic problem-solving, and the ability to adapt to changing dynamics.
The participation of CBRE in The Pitch™ allows us to nurture the next generation of leaders and positions CBRE as a leader dedicated to fostering talent and driving positive change within the industry. The long-term impact of such initiatives on the scholars, CBRE, and the industry as a whole cannot be overstated.
CBRE’s journey through The Pitch™ has been nothing short of inspiring, and we look forward to continued collaboration and shared success.
