SUITABLE CANDIDATES
The position would suit a person who has a demonstrable interest in, and ideally
understanding of, corporate real estate. Suitable candidates will hold, or be
pursuing, a relevant postgraduate degree. The desired academic background of
the intern has yet to be specified, as this depends on the subject and nature of
the internship, but could be directly related to the property industry, or perhaps
indirectly related in subjects such as economics, political and social sciences,
architecture or engineering. Clearly this depends on the subject and nature of the
internship.
a) Internship
b) Bursary
A 'bursary', with the appointee working on the chosen subject in their own time,
over an extended period of say 9 - 12 months.
As the scheme will be aligned with FCRE, and not with a specific FCRE member,
its structure and organisation will ideally reflect this. This could be achieved by
having mentors from different FCRE members, or/and a system of placements.
Another possibility is to utilise internet networking tools such as forums, blogs
and Facebook. For example blogs like this could be used by interns to tell the
rest of the federation about their activities, and by the rest of the federation to
communicate with the interns.
TOPICS
The scheme will require guiding topics. Here are some ideas:
The intern reviews the agendas of relevant public affairs organisations, such as
government departments, think tanks, NGOs and academics as these bear upon
the interests of the corporate real estate industry.
OBJECTIVES
Possibilities include:
The candidate could be sourced from within FCRE itself – in effect a benefit
gained from membership.
b) Press ‘advertisement’
c) Academic institutions
FCRE could find its interns through relevant academic institutions, such as the
University of Reading's School of Real Estate and Planning, or Oxford Brookes
University's Department of Real Estate and Construction. Indeed the scheme
could align itself with one of these institutions.
The benefit of some of these more sophisticated approaches is that they would
provide FCRE, and its internship, with greater exposure, and hence potentially
generate greater federation membership interest.
