Press Release: Kearney & Company Recognized in 2023 Yello Top 100 Internship Programs List
ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Aug. 1, 2023 – Kearney & Company, a premier audit, consulting and technology firm focused on the government, was named one of 2023’s Top 100 Internship Programs by Yello. This marks the first time Kearney has been recognized on the list.
The internship programs were selected based on 30% public votes and 70% judging by a panel of industry experts, according to Yello and WayUp. The criteria the judges focused most closely on were:
- Diversity and inclusion.
- Compensation and perks.
- Program orientation and structure.
- Career development for interns.
- Full-time employment prospects.
- Company culture and engagement.
- Unique aspects of the program.
Every summer, Kearney hosts a sizable intern class for its eight-week paid internship program. The program features hands-on work experience, mentorship, a hybrid in-person/remote work environment, social and networking events, learning seminars, and the opportunity for a full-time role with Kearney upon graduation. One of the hallmarks of the program is that the intern class leads firm-wide philanthropic efforts over the summer. Interns are empowered to select nonprofits to support and plan events to fundraise. Historically, Kearney’s intern classes have each raised about $10,000. This summer, Kearney’s intern class planned a firm-wide kickball tournament and other fundraising efforts to support the Cancer Prevention and Treatment Fund, Warrior Surf Foundation and Crayons to Classrooms.
“We are so honored to be recognized for our efforts to provide students with opportunities to gain meaningful experience working with clients while enjoying Kearney’s collaborative, supportive environment,” said Chief People Officer Erin Ogburn. “Mentorship and developing our people are cornerstones of Kearney’s people-first culture, and that can be seen in our internship program, where many go on to join us as team members.”
