Urban Alliance Partnership Opportunity
Urban Alliance is seeking property management companies to commit to hosting Chicago Public School (CPS) interns across Chicago for the 2022-2023 school year. The program intends to build a new model for finding and training diverse talent for careers in property management. Urban Alliance will provide CPS student with seven weeks of professional skills and literacy training, followed by training in leasing or maintenance and then facilitate a turnkey internship experience for CAA property management company partners.

Interns earn competitive wages and raises, which are paid by Urban Alliance.
