Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
During the three days, I had the chance to meet and talk to people from across the business. It was an inspiring experience to learn more about the business and learn more about KPMG and the variety of opportunities available. During the last day, I had the chance to be interviewed aswell as taking part in a group exercise.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Learning and understanding all the business roles available allowed me to fully understand the vital role that KPMG plays in its industry. It also allowed me to understand why KPMG is such a globally recognised company and why it is respected in the industry.
