For Purpose Social Impact Graduate Programme
The For Purpose Social Impact Graduate Programme is part of 2into3, who have been working since 2006 to build the capacity of organisations to have a transformative social impact. Having worked with over 400 nonprofit organisations in that time, we have a strong understanding of what your organisation requires.
For Purpose was established to provide a structured and unified graduate programme for the charity and community sector in Ireland. It is designed to provide a career path into the sector, support early career professionals and help meet the current and future needs of the sector.
We connect social impact organisations with talented graduates who are searching for purpose in their careers and the chance to make an impact on society.
We recruit positions across a range of career paths, from fundraising and communications to finance, HR, and more.
