A real estate company, Knight Frank, as part of its initiatives to foster professionalism among recent graduates who have not yet made their mark on the job market, has developed a learning center.
According to The Punch, the learning hub will assist in bridging the knowledge gap by preparing a fresh approach to talent development for the real estate sector.
Senior Partner/Chief Executive Officer of Knight Frank Nigeria, Frank Okosun, while speaking at the unveiling ceremony in Lagos, noted that stakeholders in the real estate industry had expressed concerns about the deteriorating quality of personnel, looking to develop a career as chartered surveyors, valuers, and real estate brokers, among other ancillary roles.
“Knight Frank developed the academy initiative as one of the ways of returning value to the society by helping to bridge the gap between the competency level of fresh graduates and what is required of entry-level professionals by leading estate surveyors and valuer firms,” he stated.
He claimed that after graduating from the Knight Frank Academy, the beneficiaries would be prime hires for any major industry player who could require their services.
