Overview
Beyond what's learnt whilst at placements, the Friday learning & development journey will help you to become a leader who can bring about transformation in our economy.
We want to help you diagnose what’s going wrong with the economy now and help you think about what a just and regenerative economic system might look like. Crucially, we want to set you up to be people who keep learning and developing through your career - the On Purpose Associate Programme is just the first step.

Learning Blocks
We are consistently refreshing and renewing the learning and development programme to ensure that it's as helpful and transformative as it can be. There may well be some new modules and sessions by the time you join the programme, but it will broadly cover the topics set out in our 8 learning modules below:
-
Defining and Measuring Impact
What changes do you want to see in the world? How do organisations know if they are realising their mission? Here we first look at defining impact before exploring approaches and tools to measure and evaluate impact.
-
Financing and Resourcing Impact
Finding funds is an important first step to achieving impact. You explore different types of funding available to purpose-driven organisations, debate their effectiveness and learn how to secure funding.
-
Scaling impact
Given the enormity of the world’s problems, it’s important for impactful organisations to scale. You will learn about different tools and strategies that can enable scaling, and debate if and when they should be used.
-
The Impact Landscape
You explore the state of the sector: its challenges, opportunities and the different ways people create change on a local, national and global level. Within this landscape, you consider where you as an individual are best placed to create change.
-
Leading Projects
We equip you with a range of approaches to deliver innovative and effective solutions. From traditional problem solving techniques to agile working and human centred design, you broaden your toolkit for tackling complex problems.
-
Leading Self
If you don’t have a good understanding of yourself, it’s much harder to lead others effectively. Here, you improve your self-awareness and ability to manage your time and energy effectively.
-
Leading Teams
How do you lead a team through uncertainty, challenge, conflict or even opportunity? Here you learn how to create a strong and inclusive organisational culture, listen deeply, and develop others.
-
Leading Societies
Once you’re equipped with tools for leading a team, we’ll look wider. From vision casting to community building, you learn how to mobilise people in society to join you in creating change.

Organisation
We will explore the roots and benefits of traditional approaches to managing organisations and projects, as well as more systemic alternatives.
You will develop your own sense of what a healthy organisation looks like; how they manage themselves and contribute to the systems around them.
Our goal is that you will leave more confident in how to make change happen in ways that work towards a healthy future, whatever kind of organisation you are in.
-
Economy and Society
We will look at the ideas and power dynamics that have created our current economic system, and engage with the positive and negative impacts that it generates.
We will introduce you to alternative conceptions of economic systems and encourage you to develop your own vision of a positive and healthy future for our economy and society.
You’ll understand how societal level change can happen and be equipped with the tools to be part of it.
