What did you gain from participating in KPMG's Leadership Edge program?

KPMG's Leadership Edge Program is considered an 'externship.' An externship program is commonly offered by all Big 4 firms, as they are a 1-3 day opportunity for students to gain exposure to the firms and learn about the firms' culture and the expectations of carving out a career with the firm. During the program, you will also learn how to advance into an internship and eventually a full-time offer from KPMG.

You are not limited to attend only KPMG's externship. Big 4 firms fully expect that you will explore other opportunities. While KPMG has the Leadership Edge program, PwC holds an externship program called 'Elevate,' Deloitte's externship is 'NextGen,' and EY's is called the 'Emerging Leaders Program.'

If you were a KPMG Leadership Edge participant, be prepared to talk to the interviewers about what you gained from their externship. When discussing this experience, let your enthusiasm for an internship with KPMG shine through!
