Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My role as a first year is in Loan Services, so I help Asset Managers facilitate loans they're given which means looking through lawyer agreements to see what borrowers or lenders have to provide us, and also see where payments need to be made. All of this is collated in one digital system and four digital documents that I complete. I also complete reports for our directors and rebill invoices for all loans that require it.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Super helpful team, great dynamic and always understanding of all situations.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt and built a finance mindset, I can talk about loans which I would have no clue of about 7 months ago. The team is always here to ask questions so you're never in the dark. I learn new things everyday as my first year is a placement where there are so many technicalities to learn.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Very structured, you have a designated manager, and a chain of command, lots of support and anyone in the team or business always has time for a chat although they may be busy; they do support the next generation.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
There is a dedicated team for apprentices, whilst including your manager and team.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
There are around quarterly meetings with my uni provider, there are forms or questionnaires if we need help and we were given emails and numbers to those that can help if we ever need it.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
Learning a degree of real estate whilst working in real estate helps me apply my learning in real life which enables me to perform better as I apply my knowledge into actual skills in the workplace.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
So many social activities within the team or the business, our company continuously supports charities which they do fundraisers for like skydiving, bake sales, runs, marathons, rowing etc.

Overall huge company where you can move around the business and still feel at home. At a company this size, the corporate ladder is high, I have never met one rude individual here, everyone has time despite them being senior etc.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to CBRE Group?
Keep an open mind and be proactive because your network is your networth in real estate.
