KPMG success for S6 pupil
Despite having five offers from top Scottish and English Universities, one of our Sixth Year students has also received an offer to start his accountancy career directly after the end of the school session.
Callum Shields, pictured right, has gone through a highly competitive application process and heard recently that he has the chance to join KPMG's School Leavers' Programme. The five stages of the assessment has taken three months to complete and Callum eventually received the exciting news last month.
The six year programme offers trainees the opportunity to gain work experience as well as a university degree and a professional accounting qualification - all funded by KPMG. This is a very powerful combination which allows trainees to start earning and building their career as soon as they finish school.
We wish Callum every success, next year, with this exciting opportunity. He has already been asked to return to speak to next year's Sixth Year about the programme and the application process!
