Education Services Overview KPMG has long been committed to the education sector
KPMG is now in our second century of commitment to education. Our professionals work across the entire education sector – serving clients in K-12, vocational education and training, and higher education, as well as the strategic planners, funders and influencers of educational services – to help clients react and benefit from the growing demand for education.
As we think about valuation and associated transaction activity, distinct sector dynamics will continue to influence performance though we remain optimistic as “ed stocks” are generally viewed defensively as both students and professionals seek to enhance or re-tool their skill sets during periods of macro-economic headwinds.
