Audit, the perfect place to start your career.
It has long been assumed that audit and accountancy in general is a “boring” career to follow. Ask someone to describe an auditor and images of bespectacled people in dark windowless offices, relentlessly reviewing excel sheets tend to pepper the reply. While some of this is true (excel is an essential tool for any business) a career in auditing is anything but boring. Auditing is a fantastic place to learn and expand essential skills that are foundational to many businesses and institutions.

For Purpose Tuesdays - 2023
We had a brilliant morning launching our first For Purpose Tuesdays session of 2023. We welcomed some familiar graduates and introduced two new members to the For Purpose Graduate Programme, Theo and Nadine. They applied for our Assistant Analyst and Assistant Recruiter positions with 2into3. We are delighted to welcome them to the For Purpose Graduate Programme.
For Purpose Tuesdays with Emma Morgan
Emma Morgan, Business Analyst for Pobal, lead our For Purpose Tuesdays learning seminar yesterday. This was a fantastic opportunity for our graduates to learn from an experienced manager, business analyst and board member in the nonprofit sector, with specific experience in strategy, governance, development and support in recruitment.
How To Be a Leader with Purpose
Leadership is typically associated with people in positions of power. However, we are all leaders in our own right. We are the leaders of our positions at work, we lead within our personal lives and show leadership qualities in a variety of aspects in our lives. Therefore, it is important to consider how we can lead with purpose, in our working lives and personal lives, regardless of whether we hold a specific leadership job title.
For Purpose Tuesdays – Social Entrepreneurs Ireland
At For Purpose, we partner with many fantastic mission-driven organisations to provide graduate roles. We invited one of our previous graduates from Social Entrepreneurs Ireland, Lydia Redmond, to speak to our current graduates about social entrepreneurship and specifically, the work of Social Entrepreneurs Ireland.
Graduate Careers with Impact: Why work for a nonprofit?
The non-profit sector is a vital sector in Ireland, made up of 33,000 organisations, 170,000+ employees, 300,000+ volunteers and brings in an income of €14.2 billion per year. In fact, the sector employs more people than either the Agri-food or hospitality sectors.
For Purpose Tuesdays with Sharon Hughes
We had a fantastic For Purpose Tuesday session with Sharon Hughes last week. Sharon is the Leadership Academy Manager, bringing leaders from Irish charities, community organisations and social enterprises together to learn and inspire each other.
