Internships give you great insight into KPMG. They help you find out if a career in professional services is suited to you and give you an understanding of our business, our firms' clients, our people and our culture. Combined with the opportunity to gain real commercial skills and have direct client contact, an internship is a fantastic way to experience the business world.
On an internship, you can expect to enjoy the same high level of attention we give all our staff including mentoring support and feedback from a performance manager. You will be learning from day one, discovering what it is like to be part of a professional team and exploring what areas are best suited to your skills and aspirations. You may also have the opportunity to join in a community activity with your new colleagues and you will definitely have plenty of opportunity to socialize.
In order to make the most of your internship, here are some tips we have for you: |
| • |
Keep an open mind: be willing to try new things:
If there's a challenge to overcome, give it your best shot and make the most of the learning experience. After all, no one's perfect and you're here to learn. Along with everyone else.

| • |
Make contacts and start to develop your network:
You never know when you'll need help from the people you meet in the future. |
|
| • |
Stay engaged:
Try to get involved with different engagement teams, especially on projects or with clients you're particularly interested in. |
|
| • |
Use past experiences:
at school/interests/hobbies to help bring out your best trouble-shooting skills & problem-solving abilities during the internship. |
|
| • |
Double-check and triple-check your work
Remember, you only have one shot at making a first impression. |
|
| • |
Stay in touch with your fellow interns after you leave KPMG:
if/when you travel overseas for business or pleasure, at least you will have connections from the minute you land. |
