Foundations Program - KPMG's career exploration program (Sep 2024)

This short introductory skills-building program is for all students – whatever your degree and whether you’re pretty clear on your path or still open to new career ideas. 

The program is set over one half-day in-person plus a short virtual get-to-know-KPMG session prior. It’s all about you exploring careers, gathering great ideas, and building professional skills.

What you’ll do:

• Workshops to build key skills for starting your career, like networking, interviewing and presenting yourself in-person and online.
• Meet experts from a range of KPMG services.
• Network with experts and graduates who’ve started their career at KPMG.
• Learn about the types of work our teams do.

Benefits:

• Build ideas for your career: We know work is changing. Not just how we do it but what the work of the future will actually look like. From climate change to corporate tax and auditing to AI, we have teams working on all sorts of challenges with all sorts of clients to deliver solutions fit for the future. 
• Meet experts in a range of fields: Hear about the work they do and how they’ve built their experience.
• Meet graduates: students who’ve just graduated and entered straight into a career with us can share their thoughts on how they landed on their career choice and what they see in store for themselves.
• Learn key career skills: writing a standout CV, how to prepare for an interview, presenting yourself, and online networking.
