CoreNet Global Learning Foundation and Trascent, a global management consulting firm specializing in corporate real estate and facilities management, announced a scholarship program designed to increase diversity in the corporate real estate profession by providing opportunities for more people to become credentialed as an MCR (Master of Corporate Real Estate) or QPCR (Qualified Professional of Corporate Real Estate).
These designations, administered by CoreNet Global, are significant factors in the career development of those who work in corporate real estate and facilities management, the announcement said.
“We recognize that greater diversity in corporate real estate is essential for the successful growth of our profession,” said Angela Cain, CEO of CoreNet Global. “Trascent’s scholarship funding will spur a greater number of people from diverse backgrounds to pursue the MCR and QPCR which will in turn lead to enhanced inclusion in our profession.”
The Trascent Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Scholarship Program will fully fund MCR and QPCR scholarships to corporate real estate professionals around the world.
“By encouraging diversity, we hope to bring the best and the brightest to the table and increase the pool of talent across the industry,” said Rakesh Kishan, managing principal of Trascent. “As a minority-owned global CRE/FM management consulting firm, it’s part of our core values to make a contribution in this area,” Kishan added. “We are grateful to CoreNet Global and the CoreNet Global Learning Foundation for establishing the path to success in corporate real estate as a profession, and we are pleased today to make a small contribution towards greater diversity in corporate real estate.”
