On September 18, 2023, Puneet Singh, Managing Partner at the PKS Law Group, P.C. took the stage as an instructor, teaching a three-hour fair housing seminar to students from the Sacramento Chapter of the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) as part of the remarkable RENEW Program.
The RENEW Program, standing for “Reentry Education for New Employment and Well-being,” is an initiative designed to offer individuals who have faced homelessness, domestic violence, unemployment, and the cycle of poverty a chance to rebuild their lives. This program is more than just an opportunity for job training; it’s a beacon of hope for those who need it most. Through a combination of training, mentoring, and job placement assistance, RENEW strives to provide its participants with the tools and skills necessary to embark on fulfilling careers in property management.
Students in the RENEW Program receive a well-rounded education in residential property management, including courses in customer service, business etiquette, and communication skills. The aim is to prepare them comprehensively for a successful career in property management. Upon completing their coursework, graduates of the program have the opportunity to apply for internships in property management, with the ultimate goal of securing permanent positions in the residential industry.
