Vacation programmes

Come as you are

Our Vacation programmes are designed to help people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives to explore life at KPMG and find out more about the work we do for our colleagues, communities and clients. If you participate, you'll discover what it's like to be part of a professional team as you explore different areas of the business.

It's a great opportunity to develop new skills and enjoy new experiences, in an environment where learning is continuous. As well as kick-starting your career, you'll get to take part in some great community activities and you'll have the opportunity to meet new people too. Above all, it's about gaining experience on real-time, real-life projects. It's an opportunity to learn new skills, enhance your CV, learn about the world of work and, most importantly, it may lead to a potential graduate offer.

We offer a range of different vacation opportunities. We'd encourage you to explore the information on each one of these, and then search and apply for your preferred choice.
