St. Petersburg College’s (SPC) Workforce, Community & Corporate Partnerships team and the SPC College of Business are partnering up to bring a Pathway to Commercial Real Estate course to the college next year, capitalizing on the continued growth of commercial real estate in Florida.
A career in commercial real estate can be an exciting one filled with extensive travel and entrepreneurial opportunities in addition to high-wage earnings.
SPC’s eight-week course will be held in person at the college’s Downtown Center in St. Pete beginning in early 2024, and it will cover how to get involved in commercial real estate, building and construction, and opportunities available within the real estate industry.
The cost of the course will be $149, and internships worth $2,500 each will be presented to the top ten participants in the class.
The course examines various pathways to commercial real estate and its development. It is designed for students interested in new or existing commercial real estate ventures. Further, those who require more subject matter knowledge on commercial buildings, their procurement, purchase, and management.
