KPMG in the UK is part of a global network of member firms. Our largest practice is Audit, which provides independent challenge and delivers quality audits to organisations of all shapes and sizes. In Tax & Pensions, Consulting, Deal Advisory, Technology & Engineering and KPMG Business Services, we work shoulder-to-shoulder with clients to help them solve some of their most complex business challenges.
From joining, graduate and undergraduate trainees at the firm will undertake intellectually-stimulating work, alongside some of the brightest minds in business. You’ll gain exposure to a range of sectors and companies, from the biggest multinationals through to the most innovative start-ups.
Our colleagues come from all sorts of degree disciplines and backgrounds, bringing diverse perspectives, but sharing a natural curiosity, a desire to work together and explore new ideas, inspire change and deliver exceptional results.
We have a simple vision: to be the clear choice for our clients, our people and the communities we work in. You’ll benefit from funded professional qualifications or accreditations relevant to your programme, and the support you need to build a rewarding career. With volunteering days and numerous community initiatives, you’ll be encouraged to make a difference beyond the office, too.

Audit - As an auditor, you’ll help to build the confidence and trust that business and society need to thrive. If you’d like to get under the skin of a variety of organisations, this is the right place to be.
Consulting - You can look forward to the intellectual stimulation that comes from solving complex problems and creating positive change for lots of different organisations.

KPMG Business Services - We'll ensure you get the right balance of operational experience, responsibility, training and support to reach your potential
Tax & Pensions - This is an opportunity to work on a range of intellectually-stimulating projects and as you'd expect, we work within a robust framework but there's still real scope to innovate.

I learned not all IT careers focus on programming, there are so many options out there which require the skills I have!
Student
A fantastic opportunity to meet some truly inspirational women in the technology sector!

This event showed me the sector is much more diverse than I originally thought, it is possible to reach the top regardless of gender!

IT’s not just for the boys has become an integral part of Deutsche Bank’s graduate hiring season. The day itself is fun and informative and we consistently meet high calibre female applicants who are successful in progressing through our hiring processes, onto our programmes. Looking forward to taking part again this year!
Deutsche Bank
We loved hosting IT's not just for the boys! at Bloomberg again this year. It is a fantastic opportunity to meet some of the top prospective engineers around the UK, and we truly benefit from having the opportunity to engage in such interactive sessions. The events are extremely well organised, and the students are very well prepared to network with sponsors and make the most of their experience. We look forward to continued partnership with TARGETjobs Events on their fantastic work in bringing more focus to women in technology!
Bloomberg
IT's not just for the boys was once again my favorite event this academic year. It is amazing to be around so many inspiring females and young upcoming techies that are so passionate about the industry. The layout of the event is perfect, the skills session and team challenge really allowed me to see how they would work in a team and I got to see them in an environment that I wouldn't at any other event. The calibre of candidates is also very impressive. Getting all their details, CV's and whether they are interested is fantastic for me to follow up!
Thoughtworks
Thank you to all the TARGETjobs Events team as the whole event is really excellent. I have been to so many events in the tech space and for young women there really isn't anything like it.
Student
The day was insightful and educational, providing the students with every opportunity to ask questions and get to know the firm and its culture. The students meet with senior female industry professionals and learnt how to have a successful career in the technology industry!
Metaswitch
Extremely helpful and interesting. Has opened my eyes to more opportunities within the sector. The sky is the limit!

IBM have attended IT's not just for the boys! for many years and the reason we keep coming back is the event delivers fantastic candidates who have been pre-selected for us. The students are always extremely engaged, technology focused, knowledgeable about our organisation and keen to find out what opportunities are available to them. After each event we receive a great number of applications and many of these candidates go on to secure roles with us as placement students, summer interns and graduates

Isban attended INJFTB for the first time last year and were hugely impressed! We are not a well-known brand in our own right, this event gave us the opportunity to tell our story to an enthused female technical audience. ITNJFTB was a very successful source of interns & graduates, and we will be returning in 2018!
Isban
IT's not just for the boys! was a brilliant event, probably the most useful one I’ve attended during my time at uni and I hope you continue to hold it for the oncoming years! If it wasn’t for the event I probably wouldn’t have felt like I was suitable to apply for my graduate role with Accenture!
Student
An excellent day focusing on you and your strengths rather than you as a female student. I often forgot it was a female only event and left feeling empowered!
Student
The event was really well organised and provided a great way to meet and network with such ambitious and engaged students. The structure and interactive nature meant recruiters could really get to know and build relationships with students throughout the day. Look forward to attending future events!
