Cadence at Gateway Students will be able to track the full development of Cadence at Gateway.

MESA, AZ—An educational program will be the first of its kind in the nation that allows students to track development of a master-planned community as it happens–from groundbreaking to opening. Arizona-based real estate investment and development company, Harvard Investments, and East Valley Institute of Technology  (EVIT), are launching a 12-month program beginning in the fall that provides EVIT high school students unprecedented exposure to and understanding of the entire process for building a large scale, master-planned community, Cadence at Gateway.

“Our intent is that when a student completes this 12-month study, she or he will have unprecedented knowledge about each step in building a community that will serve 1,700 families as well as businesses, schools, retail and more,” said Craig Krumwiede, president of Harvard Investments. “It puts a young person that much closer to understanding career options within this great industry. It provides first-hand access to watching a community be built–linking them to the best professionals in the industry and encouraging next steps in their career path. What better way to invest in our community than through the education and partnership of local students who have the affinity and aptitude to positively impact our industry in the future? Training high school students and then retaining our talented youth through exciting career opportunities and valuable mentorship is the right thing to do from a community and economic standpoint, and speaks to Harvard Investment’s larger commitment to the region.”
