Available for students finishing Year 13/S6 in autumn 2021 or those who are simply looking to start an apprenticeship career in autumn 2021, this is the perfect chance to discover if KPMG is the place for you. You’ll get the opportunity to virtually interact with other students and participate in workshops to develop some of the key skills you’ll need to thrive - meeting colleagues from across the business along the way.

This virtual experience will also give you the chance to get ahead and be fast-tracked through the recruitment process for one of our upon completion of your Discovery work experience (subject to meeting the required academic requirements), details of which can be found .

Your future is every bit as important to us as it is to you - that’s why our aim is to provide you with meaningful experiences that last a lifetime.
