KPMG offers long-term sponsorship for students in vocational high schools

KPMG, a leading consultancy, audit, and accounting firm, signed a convention with the Pierre Mendès-France vocational high school as part of the Companies and Neighborhoods Charter co-steered by the French government and Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, and managed by Face Hérault. The goal is to favor equal opportunity. The company is accompanying its second class this year, sponsoring students in their junior year who are preparing to take the vocational baccalaureate with a focus on business administration.

Employees at KPMG volunteer to take turns leading workshops. Topics include: how to prepare for a job interview or find an internship; knowing how to set goals and write a letter of motivation; and even learning self-esteem and concepts of proper business manners.

“We provide them with knowledge about management and administration professions, along with general information about how companies work,” highlights Camille Mathiot, coordinator for KPMG’s Montpellier office, very committed to the “High schools for success program.”
