About KPMG In Malaysia's People & Learning
KPMG in Malaysia's People & Learning function— known as People, Performance & Culture (PPC) and Learning & Development (L&D)—sits at the core of the firm's people strategy. The department plays a pivotal role in attracting, developing, and retaining top talent while cultivating a high‑performance culture that supports the firm's long-term growth and strategic ambitions.
The People & Learning team is central to creating exceptional employee experience. The PPC arm drives talent acquisition, employer branding, engagement, and culture-building initiatives, while L&D equips our people with world‑class learning frameworks, technical capabilities, leadership development, and innovative career growth tools.
Together, these functions are committed to building a future-ready workforce, cultivating a high‑performance culture, and ensuring KPMG remains an employer of choice within the professional services industry. As an intern, you will gain hands-on, meaningful experience contributing to HR strategy, learning innovation, people development, and firmwide engagement initiatives.
