Benefits of Upskilling Employees with MS Excel Modelling Skills, as a Recruitment Expert
Date: Tuesday 14th May 2024, 13:00pm BST
The webinar will cover the benefits of upskilling employees with Excel modelling skills, both as an employer to upskill and enhance your existing team and from the perspective of an employee who is looking at their own self-development and the skills needed in the real estate sector in 2024 and beyond.
Specifically, we’ll talk about how this will benefit employers in:
• Enabling employees to be more versatile by using software outside of Argus, thus giving them more robust analytical skills
• Empowering employees to flourish in an increasingly numerical and data-driven industry. Whilst relationships are still important, even in brokerage numerical data is the key decision-making tool
• The way that their employees will understand the language of their investors more, who are typically very returns-driven, and be able to participate more in investment committee meetings
And how it will also benefit employees in the real estate sector, in that it will:
• Allow them to work in different fields and transition into more strategic work
• Benefit from a broadening skill set given transactions are more numerical than ever
• Help prospective candidates battle the modelling tests that are nearly always part of interviews now and have more foresight in what a test will look like
Join Cobalt Director, Tom Enefer, as he shares his and Cobalt’s extensive experience in the real estate sector, and knowledge of the skills both employers and employees need in 2024’s real estate market
