Marketing Degree Apprenticeship

In joining CBRE’s Next Generation Cohort, you will be shaping the future of Real Estate. You will have excellent training and mentoring from industry experts and specialists, who will share invaluable knowledge and experience with you. You will be a part of a wider cohort of like-minded young professionals who you will develop with in your career. We give you the opportunity to work on world class projects, with an unmatched portfolio of clients, so that you gain the knowledge, skills and ability to become the future leaders and our Next Generation of CBRE.

The Apprenticeship scheme is a four year programme that combines learning on the job, formal training, and optimum support. It is open to individuals with A-levels, who have chosen not to pursue a degree. You will work for four days a week and have a mandatory study day each week.

What is the opportunity?

The apprenticeship will include dedicated time spent with each of our core teams: Digital, Events, Communications and Central Marketing. During each rotation you will be immersed in each team and get to understand the key elements that make up the marketing mix at CBRE.

At the end of the four year apprenticeship, you will gain a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Marketing, a Chartered Institute of Marketing qualification equivalent to an undergraduate degree.

The role will involve a wide range of marketing activity, to give the successful candidate a variety of hands-on experiences. It will include:

• Management of social media accounts
• Building social posts for both LinkedIn and Instagram
• Website and SEO maintenance
• Planning and attendance at events in the UK and Europe
• Writing copy for email marketing, press releases, articles and internal communications
• Direct liaison with stakeholders in the business

What will you be doing?

Day to day responsibilities vary for each of your rotations but would include:

• Reviewing and producing copy for internal and external email campaigns
• Building social assets
• Updating the website
• Event planning
• Conducting research
• Creating marketing plans and reports

For most of your rotations you will be more desk based, and some days can be quite meeting-heavy. During your time with the events team you will spend more time off-site at live events around the UK and in Europe.

You will be working across all of CBRE Advisory’s sectors and service lines, giving you a broad understanding of the commercial real estate market.

To maximise learning, we ask all of our next generation cohort to be in the office on each of their working days. You may, from time to time, be required to work additional hours as are necessary.
