Why a Consulting Managed Services Apprenticeship at KPMG?
Consulting Managed Services Apprenticeship is a two-year
programme working with clients who are looking to temporarily outsource parts
of their business. The work we do often needs to be mobilised quickly and can
vary in size and scope – you could be part of a team of 10 to 650 colleagues
working on a project at any one time, whilst based at our office in Leeds.
In Managed Services, we work to deliver a quality service to
our clients and provide them with a specialist support function and ultimately
ensure their success. The work you will do is important and will add real value
to the businesses we work with – whilst providing you with a wide range of
experience and learning opportunities. It is both exciting and challenging
work.
You could be involved in anything from analysing data,
supporting strategic planning, developing new recruitment processes, assessing
the impact of transformational change to supporting the development of new
products and propositions. The type of work our apprentices get involved in is
varied, and you will spend time in a range of functions during
three-to-six-month rotational placements.
Quality is critical to the success of Managed Services.
You’ll ideally need excellent communication skills, enjoy problem solving and
be comfortable working in an environment that is constantly changing. The role
is demanding and will require resilience and enthusiasm; so, you’ll need to
enjoy working to meet deadlines.
All apprentices will work towards the Level Three Business
Administration Apprenticeship – a recognised qualification that enables the
development of core business skills and knowledge: including project
management, business regulation and personal development. There is a wide scope
of opportunity, where you’ll spend time across our different functions and
continue your journey as you then specialise in your area of choice.
Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of
working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in offices
or at client sites. We trust our people to be where our clients need them to
be, with our client-facing colleagues working together in person as often as
needed. You’ll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly
and our collaborative offices spaces, building friendships and shared
experiences, innovating and learning together.
Bring your unique perspective to our diverse community, and
be empowered to grow, thrive and do work that matters.

As part of your application, you will be given the
opportunity to share any extenuating circumstances that may have impacted your
GCSE (or equivalent) outcomes. Supplying us with this information will not
negatively impact your application, but it may provide a positive uplift on
your academic achievements. You can also choose to opt out of sharing it.
Training and development
The training and development of our people is critical to
the future success of our business. We want all of our Apprentices to embrace a
growth mindset of learning every day, which is why we have created a rich
curriculum and learning community to help trainees build their skills and
fulfil their potential. This ranges from an immersive 5-day induction
experience, formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning
journals, online courses and networking events – all aligned to our life-long learning
strategy and part of our overall student package.
In addition, as part of your Consulting Managed Services
Apprenticeship you will complete the Business Administration level 3.
The Consulting Managed Services Apprenticeship uses
innovative technology and is delivered via a blend of Online Classroom Live and
Recorded courses plus in-centre classroom courses. This blended approach
enables you to study and learn the content at a pace suited to your learning
style, but ensures all are at the right technical level at every stage of the
qualification. The structure of the programme spreads the building of skills
and behaviours over the lifetime of 15 month apprenticeship programme qualification
so that you are able to build up your knowledge ready for the End Point
Assessment, and can continuously apply what you are learning, to your workplace
experience through your apprenticeship skills and behaviours and off-the-job
(OTJ) training. Outside of the 15 month apprenticeship qualification you will
spend the remaining 9 months of your programme consolidating and applying your
learning working in the business. You will have wrap around support which
consists of dedicated professional coaches, online portal content and live and
recorded additional study sessions, which means there is a form of support for
your every need.
Key skills
Throughout the recruitment process we will be looking to
learn more about your strengths.
To be successful on this programme, you will be required to demonstrate the strengths that we look for in our apprentices at KPMG.
