FirstStep is our flagship entry-level programme, designed to bridge the gap between education and the real estate industry. The FirstStep programme is designed to equip promising Year 13 students with the tools, confidence, and skills they need to secure apprenticeships in the real estate sector.
This programme offers your business the opportunity to connect with diverse, motivated young talent before they enter the workforce, building a direct pipeline into your apprenticeship programmes.
It’s easy to assume that attending career fairs or speaking at assemblies will be enough to attract young, diverse talent to your apprenticeship programmes. But at The Land Collective, we know that this is only the first step. Identifying and nurturing potential from under-represented backgrounds takes more than just visibility, it requires building meaningful relationships and offering hands-on support at the very start of their career journey.
Through FirstStep, we go beyond the usual channels to connect with promising Year 13 students, offering them the tools, confidence, and guidance they need to see themselves thriving in the real estate sector. Our approach is comprehensive and personal, providing students from diverse, working-class backgrounds the opportunity to truly understand the sector and, more importantly, understand their own potential within it.
By working directly with employers to design tailored programmes, we create a direct and diverse talent pipeline into apprenticeships. We prepare students to thrive in real workplace environments, which means they are not only job-ready but also motivated to stay, grow, and succeed within your company.
Students gain exposure to the real estate industry through workshops, site visits, and mentorship. This experience helps them understand the practical demands of the field and provides them with a foundational knowledge base for a future in real estate.
We place a strong emphasis on developing self-confidence and leadership qualities, giving students the assurance to navigate application processes, interviews, and the challenges of starting a new role in a competitive sector.
Beyond industry knowledge, we focus on equipping students with the professional skills they need to thrive in a business environment. Ensuring they are prepared to integrate seamlessly into your workplace as apprentices and beyond.
Gain early access to a pool of high-potential, diverse students who are eager to secure apprenticeship roles in your organisation.
From workshops to interview preparation, our programme is designed to align with your specific recruitment needs and ensure a smooth transition from school to the workplace.
By investing in these students early, you’ll be nurturing a future workforce that’s prepared not just to succeed as apprentices, but to grow into impactful leaders within your organisation.
Our FirstStep programme is more than just a cost, it’s an investment in the future of your business. The Land Collective’s tailored approach ensures that each partnership is structured to meet your company’s unique talent needs and goals, while delivering measurable social and organisational impact.Â
