Jake Holmes

Hi everyone! I’m Jake, a first-year History student. I attended a state school in Manchester from Year 7 through to Year 13, so I strongly relate to the mission of the 93% Club and the importance of creating spaces where state-educated students feel supported and connected.

I’m standing for Corporate Outreach Officer because I would love to help strengthen the society’s links with organisations that actively support social mobility and widening access to professional careers. Through attending careers events and speaking with professionals from different industries, I’ve seen how valuable direct conversations with employers can be in helping students better understand possible career paths.

If elected, I would aim to organise networking opportunities and career-focused events with employers committed to social mobility, while also collaborating with other societies to broaden opportunities for our members.

Thank you for reading—I’d really appreciate your vote! :)
