2025/26 KPMG Vacationer Program (Rolling Intake)

About the Vacationer program 

• For students in their second last year of study in 2025 
• Start work in November 2025 (typically, some teams have a slightly different schedule) with a full time job for 3-8 weeks to learn real world skills during your vacation period. 
• Real work from the start so you can make an impact and learn straightaway.  
• Opportunities to move directly into our graduate program: a one-year program after you graduate with targeted learning, support and development.

We have teams who can work on just about any challenge, from tax compliance and business reporting to public policy improvements and cyber incidents and so much more. Graduate roles are available across a huge variety of areas and we recruit across many degree types, including accounting, law, engineering, data science, and business management, just to name a few. When you apply, you can select areas of work you’re interested in that align with your studies and interests.

About rolling intake: We run two rounds of recruitment: main intake (now closed) and rolling intake. We aim to fill as many of our roles as possible through the main intake but, of course, things change and new roles come up. Applying to the rolling intake means your application will be reviewed as a suitable role comes up (and it does happen!).
