Brookfield Centre Professional Accelerator Program
The Brookfield Centre Professional Accelerator Program (BCPAP) encompasses the many professional development events and activities offered to Real Estate and Infrastructure students at Schulich.
The BCPAP consists of Closed Core Elements, which are available only to students who meet certain eligibility requirements, Open Core Elements, and Co-curricular Elements organized by internal and external host groups. These groups include the Brookfield Centre (BC), the Schulich Real Estate and Infrastructure Club (SREIC), the Schulich Real Property Alumni Association (SRPAA), our Career Development Centre (CDC), and external partners.
The goal of our many co-curricular events and activities is to encourage you to extend yourself and thereby grow personally and professionally. We do this by challenging you to engage with and commit to as many learning opportunities as you can manage, complementing and enhancing what you learn in the classroom with real world experiences, supporting you in building your professional network and transitioning into the industry, and promoting a sense of community. This is how we maximize your student experience and accelerate your professional development.
