Last Saturday we continued our partnership with Breakthrough of Greater Philadelphia, by providing educational content about the real estate industry and opportunities for pursuing it as a career. Breakthrough helps launch motivated and traditionally underserved middle school students on a path to top choice high schools, setting a critical foundation for postsecondary and career success. Most recently, board member and Philadelphia Region Market Leader at CBRE, Valerija (Rija) Beares, and committee member and Associate at JLL, Phillip Butler, met with the students to present on a career in real estate brokerage. Thank you Rija and Phil for sharing your time and expertise with these exceptional students. We are excited to continue growing the pipeline of our outreach and support for students interested in a career in real estate. #NAIOPPHL
