Supporting  Youth in Real Estate, is supporting teens and young adults (15 – 19), that are at risk and in communities underserved.  These youth and communities lack educational resources competing in financial literacy and business development, disallowing them opportunity of advancing in todays competitive challenges. Y.i.RE will provide those resources of financial and business development, which will also show in students academic performance, economic education, financial practices and community outreach, providing healthier lifestyles. Students will also earn scholarship grants towards college upon successful completion of Y.i.RE six learning programs (marketing, technology, finance, advertisement, management and economics), from donations, services and investments. Statistics show that 80% of wealthy individuals is from Real Estate, giving these students the resources, tools, support and competitive advantage will change families lives, also preparing the world for the next generation of Real Estate professionals through Youth in Real Estate (Y.i.RE).

Workforce development and construction labor skills are directly connected with Y.i.RE through our Home Improvement Division, because a strong, skilled workforce is essential for the success of the construction industry. Workforce development programs provide the training, education, and certifications needed to prepare individuals for construction jobs, ensuring they have the technical skills, safety knowledge, and hands-on experience required.

As the demand for skilled labor in construction continues to rise, workforce development plays a crucial role in filling gaps caused by labor shortages, aging workers, and evolving industry standards. Investing in workforce development not only benefits workers by providing stable, high-paying career paths but also strengthens the overall economy by supporting infrastructure growth, commercial projects, and housing development.

For businesses and communities, prioritizing workforce development means a more reliable, efficient, and skilled labor pool leading to better project outcomes, increased safety, and long-term sustainability in the construction industry.
