Toronto CREW Hosts 5TH Annual REAL Jobs for Young Women Interested in Real Estate Careers

Toronto CREW hosted the 5th annual REAL Jobs day on Wednesday April 21, 2010. The event was attended by over 80 grade 11 and 12 students and 12 teachers from both the Toronto District School Board and the Toronto District Separate School Board. There were 28 Toronto CREW members and volunteers who worked to make the day a resounding success.

Ryerson University was again strong supporter of the day allowing us to host the event at The Ted Rogers School of Management. The venue is an excellent introduction for students to a university setting. It’s also very conveniently connected to the Toronto Eaton Centre where one of the most popular components of the day, the Scavenger Hunt, takes place.

This year we had a wonderful panel of senior women in commercial real estate that created an interactive discussion over lunch which generated animated conversation and questions from the students. The afternoon sessions included learning about Negotiations and Acquisitions. Throughout the day the girls were engaged and interested.

The day wrapped up having drawn the connection between Toronto CREW, our community work, scholarships and mentoring; introducing the students to varied careers in commercial real estate and by inviting the girls to enter a Resume and Cover Letter contest which continues the learning and new ideas.
