CoreNet Global University Relations

Deadline: September 15, 2022

CoreNet invites students from around the world to think creatively about a problem facing real estate professionals for renowned companies like USAA, Google, Standard Chartered, IBM, HSBC, AstraZeneca, Whirlpool, and many others.     

You and your teammates will engage in a contest with competing institutions from all over the globe. Your job is to address challenges like creating an employee experience that attracts millennials while retaining all other generations of employees; or reducing the gap between the speed of business and the typical speed of real estate.
 Budding professionals welcome! We’re seeking your ingenuity and creativity. The competition is open to all students (undergraduate/graduate, full-time/part-time) who are currently registered at a recognized university.

CoreNet Global is pleased to present its 12th Academic Challenge sponsored by Clune Construction,
Cushman & Wakefield, IA: Interior Architects and KI Furniture. The goal of this global competition is to
raise awareness of corporate real estate as a viable career opportunity amongst college students of all
academic disciplines, to connect local chapters and members of the association with future talent, and
encourage more universities to include corporate real estate in their curricula.
