Agenda:

Our student career summit is a fantastic opportunity for students to get a better idea of what an internship at KLR is like. In 2018, 100% of our interns reported that they received excellent value from their KLR internship, and that it exceeded their expectations. Better yet, most of our interns are offered full-time positions after graduation!

Here’s what students can look forward to as interns at KLR:

• Buddy System
• Lunch and Learn
• Hands-On Experience
• Team Building

Our event is geared towards sophomores, juniors and seniors who are strongly considering a career at a regional public accounting firm. Students must be able to commit to the full day if they apply. Selected students can expect to receive additional information and a detailed agenda prior to the event.
