Over the past decade, CREATE evolved from an effort to tackle the CRE talent deficit and has grown into a partnership of 4 real estate associations (BOMA San Francisco, BOMA Oakland/East Bay, NAIOP SF Bay Area, IREM SF Bay Area) delivering a 16-module curriculum (link to website) offered at SF State and Merritt College, of which SF State is recognized as having among the most diverse student population in the nation. 400+ students have graduated from the program and approximately 30% have gained employment in the industry upon graduation. To facilitate cost effective hiring, CREATE's career portal enables employers to post entry-level jobs and internships at no cost, and candidates to post their resumes.

As CREATE embarks on its next decade, we see an opportunity in what we have produced, especially, as it relates to increasing diversity in our industry and bringing a richer set of ideas to the CRE table. With the harsh reality of a retiring workforce, we must continue to expand and
diversify our talent pool. The talent drought affects us all -- owners, managers, vendors –and together, we can proactively achieve a sustainable workforce. This program is sustained by the monetary contributions from the industry employers that it serves. Please donate today.
