TBC Core Fellowship

The Builder Coalition’s Core Fellowship is a six-month educational opportunity for a cohort of regional, minority-owned real estate development firms seeking to grow their work through specific technical training to expand the scope and capacity of their projects.

The Core Fellowship cohort meets monthly for six-hour learning and implementation sessions. Eight to twelve firms participate in the fellowship, with each firm enrolling 1-3 participants, with at least one participant being an owner or senior executive of the firm.

The program leads participants through modules addressing core elements of real estate market analysis, bidding, contracting, financial reporting, risk management, and project management. Each month's interactive modules will be led by subject-area experts and instructors at university real estate programs. Through the program, participants are provided access to financial institutions, development firms, and government agencies, to substantially expand their professional networks.
