LOS ANGELES-As GlobeSt.com reported earlier today, locally based commercial real estate property-management and development firm NewMark Merrill Cos. is partnering with Fremont College to offer retail employees in the firm’s centers the unique corporate-training opportunity of learning relevant retail-related skills alongside full-time college students. The firm’s CEO Sandy Sigal tells GlobeSt.com that the partnership represents a unique opportunity for the company’s tenants and their employees.

“We believe that the role of shopping centers, especially in the internet age, is to become more integral to the communities they serve,” says Sigal. “There is no better way to ensure that the community enjoys a bond with our retailers then to become aligned with educational institutions which benefit their customers, their employees, and the surrounding population.”
