Professional Development

We build careers.

At KCPE, we foster a culture of continual personal and professional development. That’s how we’ve managed to attract, reward, and retain leading industry talent.

It also prioritizes enhancing female leadership capabilities through dedicated empowerment activities and targeted guidance, aiming to attract, motivate, and retain top-tier industry talent.

 


Analyst training program

Learn from the best. Become the best.

Each year, KCPE welcomes a small class of students for our 10-week internship program that delivers the tools necessary to excel as an analyst in this industry.

Become an intern

4 weeks of intensive, tailored training

Interns receive top-tier training for success as a full-time analyst, including real estate fundamentals, Excel modeling (via Training the Street), and Walton Street’s proprietary models.

Small, ambitious cohort

We keep our class of interns small, typically just 5–7 students, which allows us to provide close mentorship and support each individual’s growth.

 

Hands-on opportunities

Interns apply their training by presenting their work to the broader team, demonstrating their strengths and aptitude through case studies, and contributing to active KCPE projects.

 

Mentorship and retention

Our mentorship program fosters professional development and inclusion. For the last three of four years, all of our full-time analyst hires were members of the previous intern class.
