Why an internship?
Internships are more than just a job and a paycheck. Internships offer you the opportunity to:
• Explore Career Opportunities - by working in the field you have chosen, you can receive an inside look at your potential career path
• Network - meet a variety of people in your chosen profession through your internship, allowing you to form relationships you can build on in the future
• Find Mentors - certain individuals can help guide you through your internship and expose you to opportunities that you can aspire to
• Gain Experience - these days, employers look for more in a potential hire than just good grades. An internship experience is an opportunity for you to gain valuable experience that can help make you more marketable to employers
What does KPMG have to offer?
KPMG strongly believes in the importance of internships. We have created an internship program that we believe is an excellent way for students to get an inside look at a career with an audit, tax and advisory firm. At KPMG, we view an internship as the start of a career.
The KPMG Internship Program
KPMG’s internship program is designed to provide you with a valuable learning experience. Since we view our internship program as a “stepping stone” for a career at KPMG, the programs and processes we use over the course of the internship mirror those we use for our full-time professionals.
• Professional Development – You participate in training during the first week of your internship. This training program can expose you to KPMG’s culture and provide you with a knowledge base to draw upon throughout the remainder of your internship.
• Client Service – After training, you are assigned to a variety of client service engagements for the remainder of your internship. These experiences can help you to gain a better understanding of KPMG and a career with an audit, tax and advisory firm. At KPMG, we feel that on-the-job experiences are some of the best form of professional development.
• Performance Management – At the beginning of your internship you set goals. To help you assess how you measure against your goals, you receive formal feedback from your supervisor at the end of each client engagement, to help you identify strengths and areas for improvement.
• Technology –Your internship exposes you to KPMG technology and how we utilize technology everyday in our profession. You are also provided a laptop to utilize for the duration of your internship.
• Networking –A number of social activities are planned throughout the internship program, allowing you the opportunity to bond with other interns and meet other KPMG professionals in a fun and relaxing environment.
• Compensation – You receive a competitive salary during your internship.
• Rewards – Upon successful completion of your internship, you may be considered for full-time employment with KPMG.
What is the timing for the KPMG internships?
KPMG has two structured internship programs. Both programs have the same vision and design. Some offices do make special arrangements if necessary.
• Winter/Spring – This program begins with training the first week of January and is a one to three-month program, depending upon your personal availability and the office needs.
• Summer – This program begins with training in June and is a seven to ten-week program, depending upon your personal availability and the office needs.
KPMG LLP, the audit, tax and advisory firm (www.us.kpmg.com), is the U.S. member firm of KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG International”). KPMG International’s member firms have 140,000 professionals, including more than 7,900 partners, in 146 countries.

Drawing on the experience of our people and multi-disciplinary approach, we are able to help our firms’ clients to think beyond the present, see beyond borders and achieve long-lasting success.
At KPMG Tax you can look forward to a broad and exciting career, anchored by the concept and value of what we term ‘the modern tax professional’. You’ll be immersed in a global culture of learning, supported by some of the best training in the industry, giving you the skills and technical knowledge to succeed in this new world of tax.

CLE Credit for Tax Classes
This is just a reminder that, for those who plan to report their classroom hours for CLE credits, you will need to comply with the WSBA requirements. Prior to 2009, our office was able to submit a letter on students' behalves for them to receive credit. When the rules were amended effective January 2009, that changed, and our office is no longer able to submit the credits for you. Please visit the WSBA website for more information: http://www.wsba.org/Licensing-and-Lawyer-Conduct/MCLE/Sponsors/CLE-Accreditation.
Please note that you will need to submit a copy of your syllabus and an attendance verification form (which we can supply) signed by your professor, so I recommend that you file those away at the end of each quarter, even if you don't have to report for a couple of years. It will be more difficult for your professor to verify your attendance if you don't take care of that right away.
