On Purpose is tackling the greatest challenge of our time: transforming our economy from profit to purpose. Our leadership programmes develop people who will play their part in this transformation.
Together, we learn to see a different future and take action towards realising it in the organisations we work in. Our programmes seed a vibrant community who care, inspire, challenge and support one another as we make this transformation a reality.
Our Associate Programme develops people who will help transform the economy by changing the organisations in which they work. The year-long leadership programme offers two paid purpose-driven work placements, weekly training and regular 1:1 coaching and mentoring. Associates join a thriving community that continues to develop, challenge and support them as they work towards making the transformation we need a reality.

“The programme has been such an amazing experience for me! Having known that I wanted to get into the impact space but not feeling fully equipped to do so; On Purpose has given me the support and the tools to feel more confident in taking this next step in my career.”

“My year with On Purpose set me on a completely different pathway. I'm now considering jobs and a career that I wouldn't even have been able to consider… And I’m very much happier for it.”
