Creating a Career Path for Condo Managers

The article discusses the need to create a career path for condo managers in Canada and attract more young professionals to the field. Currently, property management is not widely promoted as a career path, leading to a shortage of qualified managers to support the growing condominium market. To increase awareness and attract new hires, the industry needs to collectively evolve and share success stories and promotions on social media.

Holding virtual career sessions and engaging with organizations and partners can further promote the profession and transfer skills and knowledge to the new generation of condo managers. Highlighting green initiatives and charitable events can attract socially-minded individuals who are passionate about making a difference in the built environment. Overall, creating a sense of appreciation and accomplishment for condo managers and promoting the profession's various facets will help attract more talent to the field.
