Apprentice People Advisor Review

we have progress reviews and bi-monthly coaching sessions in which we can ask questions about the topic we are learning about

Yes

I would recommend CBRE to a friend because I believe it is a supportive and inclusive environment committed to helping talent grow and reach their career potential. there are also benefits such as the gym and a commitment to well-being and there are also mental health first-aiders which shows they care about their employees

It is not necessarily about experience but about your willingness to learn and a desire to fully reach your potential. Soft skills are important (e.g. communication) as they are the building blocks to forming professional relationships and advancing
