Eligibility
Students who come from a lower socio-economic backgroundWe would like to invite you to take part in our Employability Skills Programme. This programme is aimed primarily at students who come from a lower socio-economic background* and will provide you with the opportunity to develop your employability skills, virtually network with our colleagues, and further understand some of the strengths assessed in the KPMG recruitment process.
The programme will be delivered virtually on Microsoft Teams on Wednesday 9th April 2025 from 14:00pm-17:00pm.
We’ll empower you to develop your professional skills and support you in exploring graduate job opportunities.
Register your interest now!
Unfortunately our events are often over-subscribed, therefore if you have not heard anything from us within two weeks we were unable to offer you a place this time.
We look forward to seeing you virtually soon!
Best wishes,
KPMG Student Recruitment team
* By lower socio-economic background we mean:
- Attended state school or college, and
- The occupation of your main household earner when you were aged 14 is categorised as coming from a lower socio-economic background**, or
- Whilst at school you were eligible for free school meals (or you attended a school with ‘above regional average’ free school meals***), or
- Your immediate family did not attend university.
**Parental occupation socio-economic 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.
