Changing the way youth engage with the built environment
Who Are We?
The Land Collective is an award-winning commercial awareness and career development platform which aims to engage more young people with the built environment sector.
For a sector that is so prominent in our day to day lives, many young people aren’t aware of the sheer amount of employment and local engagement opportunities available.
We want to change that.
What Do We Do?
An interactive career-focused programme we launched in 2020, in response to the pandemic.
2021 served as the second successful year of the virtual internship programme and to date we have worked with:
ARUP, Avison Young, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP, Colliers, Deverell Smith, DTZ Investors, Ellandi, Enfield Council (Meridian Water) Gardiner & Theobald, Nexus Planning and PUBLIC PRACTICE.
We collaborate with businesses across the property and built environment sector to facilitate essay competitions for young people. They would have the opportunity to develop their commercial awareness and win access to prizes such as highly-regarded short courses in the industry.
To find out more about our last essay writing competition, see here.
2017 was when the platform got started. As the platform gathered some buzz, students were keen to fill their time and build their experience on their CV. We have previously placed our writers interested in a career in copywriting or journalism through short courses to build their skills properly.
Content is a large part of The Land Collective brand, and it was important for us to champion the written work of young people.
We have built a strong set of candidates available for internships, placement programmes and graduates schemes across the built environment. Our extensive, diverse and highly-engaged network of students and graduates are well equipped through our programmes to become future leaders.
If you’re interested in hiring through our network, please get in contact.
We run a broad range of events focusing on the built environment sector, which include everything from how to get onto the property ladder to graduate networking mixers and industry specific events which address hot topics in the market.

We met at WeWork Soho Square to host an evening of informal networking with like-minded students and recent graduates across the property and construction sectors. The event was a great opportunity for students to grow their professional networks, and discuss their careers. We welcomed professionals from Knight Frank, JLL, Turner & Townsend, Cushman & Wakefield and more.
