Focus on...
Learning & Development
National & Global Programs
Every year, KPMG professionals attend national programs in exciting sites across the country. Every year we also offer our people global development opportunities including international engagements, rotations, and training.
Global training opportunities can come at any juncture of a KPMG career. For example, in 2008, some KPMG staff professionals new to the firm attended two weeks of training in Athens. Other associates attended the same program training in Toronto. Some senior associates completed a week-long global training program in Budapest. U.S new managers joined colleagues from around the world for a week of training in Montreal. And the list goes on.
Training by the Numbers
Just how committed is KPMG to the learning and development of our people? These numbers help tell the story:
In 2009:
- 4,996 sessions of 2,783 instructor-led courses were offered.
- Over 1.2 million Continuing Professional Education (CPE) credits were collectively accumulated by our employees.
- 268,675 CPE credits were earned through Web-based training alone.
- Approximately 800 trees and 700,000 gallons of water that would otherwise have become paper training materials have been saved every year since KPMG introduced a national Living Green initiative.
