With over 230 active mentoring partnerships, the RREF Mentoring Programme is a powerful example of alumni and supporters giving their time to support current students. Through one-to-one mentoring with experienced real estate professionals, students can develop their understanding of the industry, gain valuable insights, and build their professional networks.

Each year, the RREF Mentoring Awards recognise the exceptional commitment, enthusiasm, and proactivity of both mentors and mentees. Award winners are celebrated at the RREF Recognition Evening.
