Summer School 2024

What an amazing week we had last week during the 12th Pathways to Property Summer School. As ever it flew by, we loved spending time with the 141 amazing young people from across the country who joined us for the four days, and made such a positive impression on everyone they met. Particular highlights included our visit on Day 2 to the Station Hill development in Reading. From seeing the latest apartments to discussing ideas for Stage 3 of the project, the students really benefited from a hands-on trip to a brand new development. Many thanks to Lincoln Property Company for hosting us, and for organising a friendly competition for students to put forward their creative ideas for phase three of the development. The students also got to enjoy a careers fair, with representatives from over a dozen firms exhibiting.

As always, the Summer School concluded with group presentations from the students, each one assigned to play various roles within the planning and development process. Always a highlight, the students outdid themselves this year and handled questions from the industry remarkably well.

A huge thank you to everyone from the industry who helped us during the week, whether working directly with our project groups, sitting on a Q&A panel, meeting the young people during the careers fair, hosting the site visit or watching presentations and connecting with them on the final day - far too many people were involved to list here, but we are so grateful to all. Thank you also to the Henley Business School academic and delivery staff who helped throughout the week to ensure things ran smoothly. We will be staying connected to all the young people who attended, helping them to access work experience and mentoring opportunities if they wish, along with other support to help them on the journey into real estate, including access to bursaries should they go on to study a related subject at university.

Thank you to all our supporters for enabling us to deliver these activities, helping to widen access and opportunity within the real estate industry.?
