Ellandi launched its first internship programme for the summer of 2022. Our overall aim for the internship was to provide 2 university students, particularly from marginalised groups, the opportunity to intern at a market-leading property firm, to offer a positive business environment to support the students study and career goals. To reach students effectively we knew we needed to work with organisations that would support and strengthen this initiative. From the moment we reached out to The Land Collective we knew the relationship would be a positive one. Their guidance throughout the process was excellent, they listened and encouraged our aims and perhaps most importantly through them we reached over 100 talented students who applied for the positions. We look forward to working with them in the future as we continue to support diversity within the industry.

DTZ Investors partnered with The Land Collective in 2021, since then DTZI colleagues have hosted several talks and work experience placements. Sarah, alongside the wider Land Collective team, have been instrumental in organising these events and placements for members of The Land Collective. DTZ Investors look forward to participating in the upcoming ESG Launchpad event and our continued partnership with The Land Collective in the future.

Part of SitusAMC’s ESG goals are to ensure equal opportunities for applicants entering the real estate finance industry. We are pleased to have partnered with The Land Collective, whose mission and vision align with ours, and have helped us reach a diverse candidate base for our inaugural European graduate program. Through their partnership and support, we made offers to two high-potential individuals and are excited for them to join our London office in September 2022. Thank you to The Land Collective team in their guidance and support throughout this process.
