Summer Internship Platform
Kicking off a summer internship platform for my firm. I understand there are plenty of resources out there, but I wanted feedback from this forum.
Knowing what you know now - what would you want out of an 8 week paid internship for an owner operator on the acquisitions side?
So far all I have is:
- Assist in building and reviewing financial models to support investment and development decisions
- Support market research and property-level analysis under the guidance of senior team members
- Shadow due diligence activities
- Help prepare presentation materials and reports for internal review, capital partners or investment committee
- Observe valuation and underwriting processes across various retail asset types
- Participate in team meetings with legal, finance, and third-party consultants to learn about transaction workflows
- Track market trends and contribute to internal data mapping and research efforts
- Gain exposure to acquisition and development strategy discussions and contribute insights where appropriate
All of that sounds great. Three things I would add are:
Magnanimously helpful as always - thank you for the help, CRE.
I think CRE covered most of it, but one thing that I really appreciated when I was interning was social/happy hours with interns from other firms. Granted, this one might be a bit more difficult logistically, especially if you are in a small market, but it was great to meet people across brokerage, development, and banking and getting to make connections/practice the socializing aspect of the industry. I still talk to some of the guys I met at that happy hour today.
