Students

ALPFA Internship and Leadership Program

This program has been designed specifically to foster professional development, training career growth, and leadership skills through the successful completion of internships among Latino students pursuing careers in finance, accounting and related fields of business.
 
Students receive early exposure to their career interest, networking opportunities, and professional/academic support through education in internships.

The basic program includes educational workshops, a networking luncheon, and an internship career fair with corporate sponsors. For sponsoring companies, the program provides early identification of talent, direct access to university students, and provides a pipeline where recruiters can offer guidance to students through the internship process.

KPMG Case Study Competition

KPMG sponsors the ALPFA student case study competition, which brings together accounting students from over 30 schools to solve complex accounting cases and present their findings to KPMG and ALPFA accounting professionals at ALPFA's annual national convention. The competition teams students with KPMG professionals for several months of case preparation. The KPMG advisor provides their knowledge, experience, and time to assist the students as they research potential solutions to their cases. The experience exposes the students to the possibilities of what it may be like to work at a Big Four firm.
