Women In Technology Insight Program Review

There were brief sessions with each of the sub-divisions within technology such as cyber, engineering, financial modelling etc on the first day, along with an introduction to a case study and time to work on a presentation in teams. The second day was a chance for a more in-death look at some departments and the opportunity to speak to graduates in smaller groups to ask questions and learn more about KPMG. There was also a presentation given on day two to a member of the business. On the third day all participants took part in the virtual launch pad to potentially secure a place on the following years summer internship program. This consisted of a group discussion around a case study, a reflection exercise on this, and an interview with a senior member of the technology division.

I developed my team working and presentation skills, through the case study. We also had a session on interview skills in preparation for the virtual launch pad. There was also an introduction to python coding session during the break of the virtual launch pad which was very interesting.

It was great to hear about the different roles in such depth, and I felt like I was able to more fully understand the different areas than just reading the job description from the website.

Really good! Everyone I spoke with from the company was very friendly and helpful. I really felt like all of the graduates, seniors and student recruitment team wanted me to do well. It was also really great to learn more about the work KPMG are doing to address gender inequality in the technology sector both in and out of the office, and the focus the company has on helping employees with their mental wellbeing.

I thoroughly enjoyed the insight week and felt like I got a lot out of the sessions. I especially enjoyed hearing from senior women in tech discuss their career paths and learning about the IT’s her future program operated by KPMG.

Yes

Get your application in early - they recruit on a rolling basis. Also, make sure you really research the company. They have a lot of really great initiatives that they want interns and grads to be involved with.
