Capital Transactions and Leasing Early Career Program

Home Capital Transactions and Leasing Early Career Program

The Capital Transactions and Leasing Early Careers Program is a new two-year initiative supported by the Property Council of Australia on behalf of the Property Champions of Change.

It has been developed to boost gender diversity in two of property’s “tough spots” – capital transactions and leasing to:

  • Improve and support pathways for women into these male-dominated spheres
  • Build a critical mass of women to foster long-term diversity at senior levels
  • Connect participants with supportive industry networks and established programs, like 500 Women in Property.

The first phase will see participating organisations place an early career woman into the program.  This group of around 20 women will be supported outside of their employing organisation by the Property Council via a variety of means including monthly masterclasses with senior men and women from capital transactions and leasing and attendance at key events. 

Phase one will also include a marketing campaign to attract early career women with appropriate skills to those organisations and to consider a career in property.
