Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning (Humber) recently announced new scholarships in the Real Estate Salesperson program that offer career transition opportunities.
The Royal LePage Meadowtowne Realty Best and Brightest Scholarships are the first scholarships to support learners in the program.
Kimberley Kenney received one such scholarship, which helped put her at ease with her plan to transition into real estate after over 12 years of working for international non-profit organizations in marketing and communications.
“It is an immense honour to be selected as a recipient,” says Kenney. “Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated with real estate. The scholarship enabled me to pursue essential training and licensing programs that will build a solid foundation for my new career.”
Helping to fund non-traditional learners committed to lifelong learning, professional development and upskilling, the scholarships will be awarded to eight individuals per year over the next two academic years. Recipients must be top performers in the second of four exams in the Real Estate Salesperson program.
Erin Gray, associate dean, program delivery, education and training solutions (ETS), notes the importance of nurturing talent, promoting diversity and ensuring that the real estate sector continues to grow with skilled, informed and dedicated professionals. “Establishing scholarships for learners in the Real Estate Salesperson Program within the ETS department is not just an investment in education; it is an investment in the future of the industry and our communities.”
Alejandra Padron, another scholarship recipient, was inspired to specialize in real estate by her parents, who started their careers at Royal LePage Meadowtowne in the early 2000s.
“My ultimate goal is to blend my background in urban planning with the hands-on, client-focused approach of real estate sales,” she says. “I aim to assist clients in finding their dream homes and also contribute to the development of sustainable, inclusive and thriving neighbourhoods.”
At a Humber event last month to celebrate the scholarship, broker of record/owner, Alex Ocsai, said one of the reasons Royal LePage Meadowtowne chose to establish the new scholarship program is to look beyond learners with the highest grade point average.
“We want to support learners who excel in other areas, be it community work, sports, music — emerging leaders in the field who may one day give back to our communities.”
