For Purpose assists social impact organisations attract, mentor and develop graduate talent. We recruit on behalf of your organisation to support and develop future leaders that will have a lasting impact on your organisation. The For Purpose Graduate Programme contains three elements: Work, Mentor, Learn.
We collaborate with social impact organisations to develop roles, advertise across platforms, screen applicants and provide a shortlist of candidates.
Graduates receive one-to-one monthly mentoring sessions from a social impact professional. Mentoring is a key benefit of the programme, both for the graduate and for your organisation. What graduates say about our mentors.
Monthly professional development for our graduates. Each session alternates between Presentations and Workshops with sector leaders and Peer Led Learning, allowing graduates from across the sector to share experiences and discuss ideas. More information on For Purpose Tuesdays.
Since 2012, For Purpose placed over 100 graduates on the programme – 95% of these graduates were offered entry-level roles by the organisation on completion of their graduate programme.
75% of For Purpose alumni are still working in the nonprofit sector.
“From our very first meeting with the team at For Purpose, they made the process incredibly easy. The For Purpose team took complete responsibility for every stage of the process including drafting the job specification, advertising the role, screening applications as well as preparing us for the final stage interviews.
During the interviews, the real value of For Purpose became apparent as each of the shortlisted candidates were nothing short of exceptional. We were delighted with the entire process and could not recommend the services of For Purpose more highly.”
“Within an organisation, a graduate might be the only person at that level, so it is good to have a wider network where everyone is in the same boat.
Grads engage with others at the same level of experience/ inexperience so there is camaraderie, support and it is a comfortable environment to learn.”
