Fast Forward 

We believe KPMG is a great place to grow your career, and we have created the Fast Forward Program to provide selected first and second year commerce students with an inside look at a career in public accounting, while building skills that will help you develop to your full potential as a professional.

KPMG’s Fast Forward National Leadership Program is an interactive training program and valuable learning experience that can provide you with tools to help enhance your leadership skills.

  • Improve your leadership skills and learn what it takes to be a successful leader - at KPMG and in all facets of your life
  • Specific attention will be paid to heightening your listening skills, goal-setting capabilities, problem solving and negotiating skills - all valuable to a career in business
