FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERS MOST ​

Purpose is the key to a long-lasting and fulfilling career. It’s what motivates you through difficult moments and keeps your feet on the ground when you find success. It’s what drives you to keep challenging yourself. It’s what brings meaning to your work. ​

Purpose can be elusive, especially at first. You might not have a clear sense of yours, but we’ll work with you to uncover your passions and motivations, until you develop a sharper picture of what matters to you. It’s a journey of self-discovery, but one the Master in Talent Development & Human Resources is designed to help you make. And as your sense of purpose evolves and matures, we’ll curate a learning experience that helps you embed it as the foundation of your career. ​

At IE Business School, we believe professionals share a responsibility to the planet, to society, and to the wellbeing of others. We call it Business With Purpose. As a graduate specializing in people and talent, you’ll be at the heart of that mission. With our expert guidance throughout the program, you’ll emerge as a leader ready to bring positive change in the ways that matter most to you.
