This opportunity is perfect for students looking to gain an understanding of the real estate industry or those considering an apprenticeship in property. Here is what you can expect from the programme:

• Interactive Activities - Participate in hands on tasks and challenges designed to give you practical insight into the day-to-day responsibilities of an apprentice here at Savills.

• Career Pathways - Discover various career opportunities at Savills and receive guidance on how to pursue a successful career in the real estate sector.

At the start of the programme, you will be registered on our online learning platform, granting you access to the four day programme. You will be able to work through the programme at your own pace, but attendance at the live sessions throughout the week is required. The sessions will take place between 9.00am – 5.30pm.

You will also be added to a dedicated Microsoft Teams Channel, allowing easy communication with the Apprenticeship Team throughout the duration of the programme.

Work Towards Recognised AQA Unit Awards

During your Virtual Work Experience programme, you’ll be working towards five AQA Unit Awards. To achieve these, you’ll develop and demonstrate key employability skills, including teamwork, communication, organisation, and self‑management throughout the week.
