Cultural Diversity Education Program OverviewIn November 2002, the Cultural Diversity Task Force of the CCIM Institute created a business plan to create a "Cultural Diversity Education Program (CDEP).” The purpose of this program is to develop a critical mass of minority CCIM designees who can positively impact their respective communities and the commercial real estate industry in general. At present, African-Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian-Americans are underrepresented in both the commercial real estate industry and within CCIM Institute. Through the program, qualified diversity real estate professionals are introduced to CCIM Institute Education. More than 800 minority students have completed the two-day CI Introduction to Commercial Investment Real Estate course since the program began. Others have gone on to earn the CCIM Designation. CCIM Institute will host courses in select markets. CCIM Institute also offers those who have completed the CI Intro course, discounts on tuition for the challenging five-day Core Courses, which are required to earn the CCIM Designation.
