Apprentice Review

my role is as an apprentice and I rotate around all the different departments. In the department I assist with some of the more senior people with the work they do and after speaking with the senior people they appreciate the work done by apprentices as they find that working with people who have learnt on the job helps.

I have learnt many new skills ranging from, timesheet skills, communication skills, networking skills, numeracy skills, and many more. this has been purely down to the fact that I am able to mingle with a lot of different people and their skills seem to be rubbing off on to me which is very useful.

I love the programme as it allows me to rotate around all the different functions with in KPMG giving me an experience of all the different sub departments before I decide which one I want to specialise in. This is great as it also allows me to focus on a big aim of mine which is to to build my professional network which I am doing a lot of at KPMG

I feel very valued as all the members of my team ranging from junior to senior colleagues want to speak and help with me. this is amazing allowing me to learn from all levels with in the business. In the department I assist with some of the more senior people with the work they do and after speaking with the senior people they appreciate the work done by apprentices as they find that working with people who have learnt on the job helps.

The programme is very well organised as there are teams of people always there to provide support with a dedicated management team overseeing all aspects of the programme. This is amazing as I always have someone to turn to if I have a questions and can go to various different people depending on the query which again allows me to build my professional network,

I received a lot of support from the training provider as they are always sending out emails to us asking if we need help and always having the help at hand. However sometimes it can feel as though they focus on not important stuff and sometime miss out on the important stuff. if that is rectified the support offered would be amazing

I receive a lot of support from my employer and especially the employees. In the department I assist with some of the more senior people with the work they do and after speaking with the senior people they appreciate the work done by apprentices as they find that working with people who have learnt on the job helps.

the package at the moment is very well as I do not have substantial living costs. However if I was to move out the package would not cover all my costs, however the salary does go up which is a very good bonus. This is regularly reviewed by the employer and when compared with other firms it is one of the ighest which is always a massive bonus and good to know.

to be totally honest I don't really look for opportunities outside of work as I like to enjoy my social time with friends and family. however I would love to receive more opportunities as I don't really have time to look myself so would appreciate if someone could send them on a regular basis and im sure others would appreciate that as well

Yes

Because it is the best firm to work for without doubt.I have learnt many new skills ranging from, timesheet skills, communication skills, networking skills, numeracy skills, and many more. this has been purely down to the fact that I am able to mingle with a lot of different people and their skills seem to be rubbing off on to me which is very useful. Also as mentioned above the support offered is unbelievable

make sure you focus on why KPMG? and make sure you are ready to sell yourself. anyone can get 100% in all exams but its not always the exams which sells a person. its there personality and that is the most important thing to focus on. In regards to KPMG, ensure that you have attended open days as this will allow you to see the working environment with in KPMG.
