In joining CBRE's Next Generation Cohort, you will be shaping the future of Real Estate. You will have excellent training and mentoring from industry experts and specialists, who will share invaluable knowledge and experience with you. You will be a part of a wider cohort of like-minded young professionals who you will develop with in your career. We give you the opportunity to work on world-class projects, with an unmatched portfolio of clients, so that you gain the knowledge, skills, and ability to become the future leaders and our Next Generation of CBRE.
About the Opportunity
Our Property Management Graduate programme is 24 months long and offers the breadth of experience needed to work at the heart of the Real Estate industry. Throughout the two years you can expect to work solely within the Property Management business, specialising in that area, but with support and time within other areas of the business as well. This structured programme focuses on the completion of the Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) through the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).
Non-cognate pathway: Students will still complete their APC within the 2-year timeframe like the other graduates, but in addition they will complete a part-time RICS accredited Masters over the 2 years fully funded by CBRE.
What You'll Do
- You will have the opportunity to attend client meetings and present your findings, gaining valuable experience in client interaction and communication
- You will participate in regular training sessions and workshops to enhance your professional skills and knowledge in commercial real estate
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams of varied sizes to deliver comprehensive real estate solutions to clients
- Utilising industry-specific software, and other real estate analytics tools to perform your tasks efficiently such as, calculate rental, rating and valuation figures, learning how to attribute relevant rates to specific properties depending on their merits
- Conducting market research to identify trends and opportunities in the commercial real estate sector to be able to provide qualitative assistance to your team and our clients
- Inspecting and measuring properties and undertaking viewings
- Drafting of schedules and reports and the preparation of sales particulars
- Meeting required deadlines set by colleagues, clients, and peers
- To maximise learning, we ask all of our next generation cohort to be in the office on each of their working days
- You may from time to time be required to work additional hours as are necessary
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
