KPMG Social Mobility Talent Insight Programme

Job Details

2025 KPMG Social Mobility Talent Insight Programme

These paid, 3-day programmes (11th – 13th June 2025 inclusive) give you the opportunity to develop your professional network, immerse yourself into life at KPMG, and see how you could make the difference in a career with us - for businesses, people, communities and the planet. 

We offer opportunities across Audit and Tax. Whichever programme you choose, you’ll have the chance to meet inspirational people from our diverse KPMG community, build your skills and explore the breadth of career opportunities we offer.

Whilst on the programme, you’ll also have the opportunity to take an assessment, and if successful, you could secure a position on one of our autumn 2025 graduate programme or a autumn 2026 graduate programme, depending on your graduation year.

We offer the following programmes nationwide:

• Audit
• Tax

The Social Mobility Talent Insight Programme is aimed at students who come from a lower socio-economic background who are seeking an insight into a career in Audit or Tax and are in their penultimate, final year of study or have already graduated. 

By ‘lower socio economic background’ we mean students who:

• Attended state school or college, and
• The occupation of your main household earner when you were aged 14 is categorised as a lower socio-economic background*, or
• When you were at school, you were eligible for free school meals (or attended a school with ‘above regional average’ free school meals**), or
• You were the first member of your immediate family to attend university.

*Parental occupation classification is a national standard and the Social Mobility Work’s toolkit (found here) provides details on the categorisations.

**Free School Meals are a statutory benefit available to school-aged children from families who receive other qualifying benefits and who have been through the relevant registration process. It does not include those who receive meals at school through other means e.g. boarding school.

Training and benefits

This programme provides an opportunity to find out what it’s like to work for a leading professional services firm whilst gaining valuable practical experience and kick-starting your career. You’ll learn about the world of work, enhance your CV and start building those all-important professional networks.

Seeing the whole picture

Our Social Mobility Talent Insight Programmes are open to students who are due to graduate in 2025 or 2026, as well as those who have graduated already. KPMG is a place where you can be yourself and give your best - whoever you are and whatever your degree background. We look at more than just your academic results and will also consider your strengths, values and motivations. See the specific programme page on our Careers Portal for entry requirements and our ‘How to Apply’ section for detailed application guidance.
