ALEXANDRIA, Va. – April 1, 2026 – Kearney & Company, a premier audit, consulting, and technology firm focused on government, has been honored as a 2026 Top Employer for Interns by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. This award recognizes organizations that provide high-quality internships to college students across the Commonwealth.
Kearney’s internship program is designed to provide a hands-on, immersive experience that mirrors the work of full-time associates. Interns gain real-world exposure to government audit and consulting engagements while working in a collaborative team environment and participating in structured professional development opportunities, including weekly trainings and seminars.
A distinguishing feature of the program is “Intern Week,” an in-person experience at Kearney’s headquarters that brings together interns from across the country. During the week, interns engage with firm leadership, collaborate with peers, and lead a firm-wide fundraising event benefiting charitable organizations. The experience reinforces Kearney’s culture and provides interns with opportunities to develop leadership, networking, and project management skills.
“Kearney is honored to be recognized as a Top Employer for Interns in our home state,” said Chief People Officer Erin Ogburn. “Our program is built to ensure interns have meaningful, impactful experiences — through mentorship, real client work, and opportunities to contribute ideas that shape our firm. We are proud of the role our interns play in our continued growth and innovation.”
Kearney continues to attract top student talent, with strong interest in its internship program and a high percentage of interns converting to full-time roles. To learn more, visit https://www.kearneyco.com/culture-careers/early-talent/.
