CBRE runs two UK apprenticeship schemes. The Commercial Real Estate Apprenticeship Scheme, started in 2013 and described by CBRE as the first and largest in the property industry, is a four-to-five-year route to qualifying as a Chartered Surveyor for A-level leavers who choose not to go to university, with pathways in surveying, project management, HR, finance, ESG and marketing. The Global Workplace Solutions Engineering Apprenticeship is a four-year technical-services programme taking more than 50 apprentices a year.
