KPMG is going to be on your campus to talk about Fast Forward 2012, which is taking place over three days in Hollywood, California, this upcoming July 18-20, 2012.

KPMG is a great place to grow your career, and we have created the Fast Forward Program to provide selected participants with an inside look at a career in public accounting, while building skills that will help you develop to your full potential as a professional.  KPMG’s Fast Forward National Leadership Program is an interactive training program and valuable learning experience that can provide you with tools to help enhance your leadership skills.

Fast Forward is a great way to get an early sense of what KPMG is like and also what to expect in their careers as professionals.  Along with a trip to one of the world’s entertainment capitals and a chance to network with fellow business students from across North America, Fast Forward is loads of fun and a once in a lifetime opportunity for select university students from across Canada.

This program is designed for individuals who have not yet been through the internship recruiting process, have approximately 2 or 3 years remaining of their education, and have an interest in beginning their career in public accounting.

For more information about Fast Forward, we encourage you to attend our information session happening on your campus.  Details are listed below.
