The NAIOPWA Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Summer Internship Program is a resource for current college students, NAIOPWA student members, and students who have been placed in a summer internship with NAIOPWA-member CRE companies. This program is a platform for interns of diverse ethnicities, genders, abilities, and sexual orientations to interact more closely with NAIOPWA, connect with peers, and experience the breadth of the CRE industry. By providing an additional support resource for NAIOPWA member companies, we aim to enhance the interns’ summer experiences and bring them together with other college students from diverse backgrounds. The more we can enhance the intern experience, the more likely students are to seek full-time employment in the industry.

During the program, participating students will meet with DEI Committee members to discuss their career goals, learn about job opportunities in CRE, hear from CRE professionals, and develop deeper connections with industry professionals and their peers.

• The program free and open to current college students, NAIOPWA student members, and NAIOPWA member-company interns.

Priority will be given to juniors and seniors nearing the end of their undergraduate (bachelor's) programs. We encourage all interested to apply, and we will do our best to accommodate everyone.
