Training and Development We offer training to our employees, tailored to career development paths in each of our business service lines. The wealth of training to which our employees have access is one way we ensure that they can provide up-to-date and innovative solutions to our clients. For employees who are recent hires or are at an early stage of their career, we provide the EIC activities outlined on page 47. In addition, we provide a Manager Fundamentals Program and an Apprenticeship Program for our skilled trade colleagues. We are setting the standard for how we train skilled trade workers and how we enable them to grow professionally and remain at Cushman & Wakefield for the long term. > Cushman University was established in 2023 in the Washington, D.C./Virginia area. The program is run by a technical trainer who travels to buildings in the region and conducts three- to four-hour training sessions primarily on topics that will enable the engineers in those buildings to remain current in their certifications. The trainer also offers hour-long sessions on OSHA training, sustainability, leadership and more. The courses are structured to be compatible with the day-to-day responsibilities of the building engineers’ jobs. Cushman University also addresses the challenge of preparing middle-tier workers to move into senior roles. > As a Corporate Work Study Partner for Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit, Cushman & Wakefield helps students gain valuable real-world job skills, contacts and experience that cannot be replicated in the classroom. We contribute program fees that enable Cristo Rey Atlanta to serve families of any faith or creed that would not typically be able to afford a private high school experience. We also

strive to provide an enriching learning environment outside the classroom, providing students unique opportunities to do meaningful work for the firm. Our senior student intern in the 2023-2024 school year did an extensive research project, providing insight on the real estate strategy and priorities of the world’s biggest corporate occupiers. We leveraged her research to enable business opportunities and improve service alignment with clients’ goals. In the past 10 years in which we have been a Cristo Rey Work Study Partner, our student interns have contributed to the work and culture of the Cushman & Wakefield community in Atlanta and beyond. > We are leveraging our recruitment relationships with trade schools as part of our hands-on technical training strategy. Through this initiative, employees have the opportunity to capitalize on available trade school learning and development offerings. SUSTAINABILITY TRAINING Through the LinkedIn learning platform, we offer our employees a choice of 50+ courses covering subjects that range from general ESG topics to more specialized courses such as ESG and Procurement and ESG and Change Management. In 2023, we developed a Global Sustainability Certificate program designed specifically for sustainability practitioners. The 11 hour program is required of all employees in sustainability roles. The course provides a common language and framework for addressing sustainability in commercial real estate. Its aim is to integrate sustainability at all levels in our different service lines, upskill our employees and enable practitioners from different fields to approach sustainability from a common viewpoint. We believe this training is essential to ensure that Cushman & Wakefield remains the advisor of choice for its clients on sustainability matters.
