Newmark

Newmark's UK early-careers pipeline is four named programmes:

• Graduate Programme: structured team rotations and technical training aimed at the APC (Assessment of Professional Competence) qualification, with dedicated mentors and regular 1:1 check-ins.
• Year Placement: a full year, paid, for penultimate-year students on a RICS-accredited degree; structured around real-life project work, training days and APC competency exposure.
• Summer Internship: four weeks, full-time, paid, for university students; covers a tailored induction, skills sessions in pitching and presenting, and structured networking with senior professionals.
• Apprenticeships: real-project work from day one with experienced mentors and structured learning.

The four routes target different points in a candidate's training: a penultimate-year RICS student for the year placement, university students more broadly for the four-week summer programme, finishing students and recent graduates for the graduate programme. A candidate has to map their stage of study to the right entry, since the routes are not interchangeable.

A few specifics follow:

• The graduate, placement and apprenticeship routes all run towards the RICS Assessment of Professional Competence (APC) qualification – chartered-surveyor training is the spine of the early-careers offer, not an optional add-on.
• The summer internship runs four weeks, full-time and paid; the firm describes the purpose as broad industry exposure rather than a single-team rotation.
• The year placement is restricted to penultimate-year students on a RICS-accredited degree, narrowing eligibility to surveying, planning, building surveying and adjacent disciplines.
• Role specialisms are named per opportunity (planning, building surveying, and so on) rather than offered as a generic real-estate graduate scheme.

A candidate weighing Newmark against peer commercial real estate brokerages is choosing a chartered-profession trajectory: most of the four UK routes only make sense for someone committed to qualifying via the APC, so the route question and the qualification question have to be settled together up front.
