Overview
Are you looking to move your life in a new direction? Do you want your work and your life to fit with your own values?
This uncertain time has led many of us to question our purpose and whether how we live is in line with what we believe is good for ourselves and our world.
For ten years On Purpose has been helping people transition into careers, but more profoundly lives, with more meaning and purpose.
We invite you to explore how you can make changes in your own life through our newest course, the On Purpose Pathfinder programme. Using the principles of design thinking embedded in our existing work, you’ll gain a new sense of purpose and confidence - and be ready to lead a purposeful life in our uncertain world.

FAQs
- How does the Pathfinder programme differ to the Associate Programme?
-
The Pathfinder Programme is a shorter, online course where you will use the principles of design thinking to help you create a life and career with intention and purpose.
The Associate Programme is a year-long leadership programme that transforms your career. You learn on the job, doing real work in purpose-driven organisations while at the same time going through an intensive learning and development programme. Weekly training sessions introduce you to new ways of thinking and the community you’re surrounded by is ever-inspiring and a lot of fun.
