Delivering a world-class training experience also is an investment in our ability to attract and retain the best talent.”
The facility's Innovation Center will look to "provide an immersive learning experience that will enhance the skills KPMG professionals bring to client situations," according to the firm. The facility will additionally feature 800 guest rooms, outdoor fitness and recreational facilities, and multiple food venues.
