Our big day in Accounting this semester was November 20th; we traveled to KPMG in Minneapolis to meet our ementors. What an experience! KPMG's offices are located on the 42nd floor of the Wells Fargo center building in downtown Minneapolis. Our conference room had a wall of windows looking out of the skyline. We could see all the way to St. Paul and further. KPMG has over 23,000 employees....they are more than just a public accounting firm. They offer many job opportunities to people with a variety of experience and education. After meeting our mentors we sat is small groups and had lunch together. During lunch each group had "conversation starters" to use to get the conversation going. Most groups didn't need the help :) The conversations happening were great! After lunch each group was given a short activity to do together regarding desired career attributes. This was a great opportunity for our mentors to tell students what the working life was really like. We have 3 weeks left of communicating with our mentors. We've had an enlightening experience with KPMG and hope to continue utilizing the ementor program! More pictures to come!
