“Start your career at CBRE with our outstanding graduate, internship and apprenticeship programmes.”
CBRE, from its own careers pages
The catch: Next Generation is an umbrella rather than a single scheme, and the two halves of the business recruit separately, so check whether a role sits in Advisory or in Global Workplace Solutions before applying. Each of the eight graduate tracks lists its own openings, so a closed route does not mean the whole intake is closed. CBRE publishes no sponsorship position anywhere on the early careers pages, and surveying routes usually run to an APC timetable that assumes continuous UK employment, so ask before you apply.

Common questions

Does CBRE sponsor visas for its next generation?

Unconfirmed. CBRE publishes no sponsorship policy for its next generation, so we cannot state a firm answer. CBRE groups its UK early careers under a Next Generation brand split across two sides of the business, Advisory and Global Workplace Solutions. The graduate offer is the widest part and names eight tracks: Commercial Real Estate, Energy and Sustainability, Engineering, Finance, Future Leaders, Planning, Project Management and Principal Contracting, and Property Management. Apprenticeship schemes run in three areas, Engineering, Human Resources and Real Estate. Internships are split between a Summer Real Estate Internship and a Year in Business Internship, and there is a separate Next Generation Industrial Placement Scheme for a placement year. CBRE frames the whole thing around exposure to clients across every sector at what it describes as the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm. Openings are listed per route rather than as a single annual intake. Nothing across the students and graduates hub mentions visas, sponsorship or right to work.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?

The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.

What is the catch international students miss with CBRE?

Next Generation is an umbrella rather than a single scheme, and the two halves of the business recruit separately, so check whether a role sits in Advisory or in Global Workplace Solutions before applying. Each of the eight graduate tracks lists its own openings, so a closed route does not mean the whole intake is closed. CBRE publishes no sponsorship position anywhere on the early careers pages, and surveying routes usually run to an APC timetable that assumes continuous UK employment, so ask before you apply.

When do applications open for the CBRE next generation?

No published date as of 1 October 2026. Checked on 2026-10-01 against CBRE's own site.

How should I confirm CBRE's sponsorship before applying?

Read the specific vacancy on CBRE's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
