Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, announced today their expanded relationship with Project Destined, a leading social impact platform that provides training in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and real estate.

“It is a privilege to partner with Project Destined to further support individuals from all backgrounds who are passionate about exploring careers in commercial real estate,” said Richard Matricaria, executive vice president and chief operating officer, Western division, Marcus & Millichap. “The participants are impressive, and the program is exceptionally well run. The mission of Project Destined aligns with Marcus & Millichap’s commitment to cultivating a strong educational foundation and providing a clear pathway to successful careers in commercial real estate.”

Project Destined was founded by former Carlyle Group executive Cedric Bobo and has partnered with leading real estate firms and universities around the country to provide students from all backgrounds with paid, virtual internship opportunities where they can explore the real estate industry and ownership through live real estate deals in various cities across the United States.

“By joining forces with Marcus & Millichap, a revered leader in commercial real estate brokerage since 1971, we present a unique opportunity for students to gain real-time knowledge and experience at the start of their careers,” said Bobo. “Building a strong foundation together furthers our ability to provide access and resources for individuals who may not otherwise be supported.
