Industry exchange through student internships

Facility Management as a field of study at the university level has only been recently offered, still, with a limited number of programs available specific to facility management. Allied degrees in architecture, construction, engineering and business have traditionally been the route that many individuals took before accidentally “falling into” the management of the built environment. On-the-job training was the primary way to learn what to do and what not to do in the field. Obviously, trial and error is not the most efficient learning method.
