We Are The Academy of Real Assets
At The Academy of Real Assets, we stand for increasing access, diversity, and intellectual curiosity amongst UK schools and students by connecting them to some of the country’s leading real estate and real assets firms through events and work experience opportunities.
The Academy of Real Assets has over 60 leading real estate and real assets organisations as its members who lend their expertise to young people in the UK through our ambitious programme of events.
We partner with schools, youth organisations and philanthropic groups to deliver a programme of workshops, site visits and work experience opportunities for young people, aimed at increasing socioeconomic diversity in real estate and real assets.
“We have had several organisations pass through over the last couple of years and it is has become clear when we come across organisations/people with a genuine interest in inspiring and supporting the young people we work with as opposed to fulfilling a short-term CSR agenda.
“We have been really impressed with Academy of Real Assets and the client organisations who have engaged with us to date, we look forward to progressing these relationships in the long term to broaden the horizons and future opportunities…”
