KPMG Launches New Internship Program For Minority College Students Interested in Careers in Accounting

In an effort to increase the number of minority students in the accounting profession, KPMG, the tax, auditing, and accounting firm, has launched the Future Diversity Leaders program for undergraduate college students. Each year 50 students will be invited to a three-day leadership conference where they will meet with industry professionals. During the summer before their junior year, the students will participate in internships at KPMG offices. Students who successfully complete their internships have the opportunity to continue in the program the next summer and also to become eligible for scholarship aid for up to three years of college.
