As part of the Academy, you set your own goals, work on interesting client projects, and get the best training to develop yourself. To make things even better, you get your own Koach (not Coach—we did spell-check this job ad, but KPMG’s equivalent of a performance manager) to help you reach your full potential and achieve your goals.

The Academy is designed for your early career after graduating your master studies. The Academy is split into 3 dynamic off-site modules, each designed to get you started in your new role and develop you as a consultant. Regardless of whether you are a recent graduate or bring previous experience, we ensure that everyone starts from the same point with equal opportunities to grow professionally.
