Our Foundations Program allows you to explore the endless career possibilities offered at KPMG.
This short program is designed to provide you with the knowledge to make the right career choices.
- Open to all students, but preference will be given to pre-penultimate (that’s the first year of a three-year degree, or the second year of a four-year degree) in locations where demand is high.
- Any degree discipline.
- Great opportunity to find out more about what we do, the different career choices available and how to prepare for a professional career.
You’ll take part in workshops that will help you build key skills you’ll need to start your career, like networking, interviewing and presenting yourself in-person and online. You’ll also learn from experts from across our services about the work they do and hear from our current graduates.
So, whether you’ve already got a career path in mind, or still open to something new, the Foundations Program will give you insights and ideas of where to next. What’s even better? You could also have the opportunity to be one of the first to apply for our Vacationer Program, if you’re eligible.
