_Brisbane Heat player Jack Wildermuth joins Knight Frank Australia’s student program
Wildermuth converted his stirring end of season form for the Bulls in the Sheffield Shield into his latest BBL contract.
However, he has also moved to build the foundations for his post-playing options, recently joining the Knight Frank Australia’s commercial property team as part of their student internship program.
Knight Frank Australia’s Managing Director Queensland and Head of Capital Markets Queensland Justin Bond said he was excited to have Wildermuth working at Knight Frank as part of the Student Program.
“We are thrilled to have Jack on board at Knight Frank, giving him hands-on experience as a professional in the commercial property space while he undertakes his study at university and plays an instrumental role for the Brisbane Heat and Queensland Bulls,” he said.
“Knight Frank is passionate about supporting professional athletes and providing career opportunities to players outside their sporting careers with roles that are flexible and can work in around their training and match commitments.
“Like many sportspeople, Jack displays characteristics that we look for in real estate professionals that will see them succeed in high-performance agency-oriented environment, including resilience, discipline and dedication to achieving success.
“We hope Jack will gain valuable experience and skills at Knight Frank that can provide a pathway to a career he could potentially move into post his studies and cricket career.”
This year, Knight Frank has employed 12 students nationally in their final year of Property to give them practical and varied experience in the industry, offering individual mentor support, structured rotations, as well as a tailored learning program designed to prepare all students for a successful career in property.
Wildermuth, who is studying a Bachelor of Business (Management) at Griffith University, is based in the Knight Frank’s Brisbane office, and his first rotation is in Capital Markets.
