KPMG in Saudi Arabia has announced that a good number of Saudi nationals joined its graduate program this year, with many taking up internship positions across the firm’s various functions and offices in the Kingdom.

The KPMG Graduate Program is part of the company’s commitment to Vision 2030 and to developing and training Saudi talents. The program provides exceptional learning and professional development opportunities for young Saudis. It further aims to build a foundation of expertise for KPMG’s business through a combination of diverse assignments and a concentrated on-the-job development plan.

The three-year graduate program starts with attracting and recruiting top graduate talents, followed by on-the-job training, exam preparation training and mentorship. KPMG ensures young Saudi talents feel settled and have the required knowledge to perform their daily tasks up to a high standard. The ultimate goal of this program is to support young nationals to acquire knowledge, experience and pass the professional qualification that will help them start successful careers.

“Investing in our young Saudi talents is a strategic priority for KPMG. We want to nurture our young and dynamic local talents that will empower and equip the leaders of tomorrow,” said Dr. Abdullah Al-Fozan, chairman of KPMG in Saudi Arabia.

“The aim of our graduate program is to develop the next generation of leaders through challenging and interesting assignments, accompanied by comprehensive training sessions. They will be able to boost their resumes with solid work experience and accreditation,” he added.

KPMG in Saudi Arabia was established through its member firm KPMG Professional Services and has operated in the Kingdom since 1992. It has grown to become one of the largest professional service providers in the country, reaching a workforce of nearly 1,300, based in Riyadh, Jeddah and Alkhobar.
