93% Club Employer Partnerships 2023

THE STATE SCHOOL MEMBERS’ CLUB

AS FEATURED IN

In 2016, The 93% Club started as a Facebook group for 20 students at the University of Bristol. Fast forward to 2023, and we’re now supporting over 10,000 students at 60+ universities across the UK.

Through our programmes and events, we provide an unrivalled opportunity for students from a diverse range of backgrounds to shape their career, boost their employability and meet people that will unlock even more opportunities for them in the future.

With our relentless focus on creating lasting change, we work collaboratively with employers, charities and universities to build high-impact activities that will connect our students, develop their skills and help them to access top careers that may otherwise have been out of reach.

Over the next year, we’re visiting more cities and running more events than ever before. Together, you can help us break down the barriers to social mobility for generations to come.

HI THERE, WE’RE THE 93% CLUB

We’re a social mobility charity dismantling the class inequality that exists in Britain today through the power of community. By bringing together thousands of state-educated students across the UK, we are breaking down the structural barriers to social mobility and building a future that’s fairer for the next generation.

Changing perceptions of class and education

We are redefining what it means to be state educated, breaking taboos around class and helping people to be proud their background and own their origin story.

Packaging up privilege and giving it away

Through our programmes and events, we take all the benefits of a private school education and provide them to students who went to state schools – from career advice to speaking skills.

Reimagining the members’ club

We’ve taken the members’ club model that has worked for the few and made it work for everyone. Our students come together to help each other out – just like the old boys do.

Giving everyone a golden ticket

We bring the employers to our diverse body of students and give unrivalled access to recruiters, hiring managers and business leaders who can help our students access their dream career.

HOW WE MAKE AN IMPACT

Every year, we reach thousands of students through our online and in-person programmes. Alongside our digital community and app, our national, regional and local teams run more than 100+ events in every corner of the country – with each one helping to move the needle on social mobility.

Conferences and flagship events

You won’t find any boring careers fairs here. Our innovative employability concept days are interactive for both students and employers. We host events in cities across the country.

Campus events and networking

Our student leaders host events at universities from Aberdeen to Aberystwyth, focusing on employability, careers, social mobility, diversity and inclusion, networking, and recruitment.

Digital community and online events

In our Virtual Clubhouse, thousands of students share advice and connect with recruiters at top firms. Our employer partners can also host calls and post roles in our Careers Supermarket.

Bespoke employer programmes

Last, but by no means least, we also create bespoke insight days, work experience weeks and recruitment programmes for employers to reach our brilliant students.

Employers

DELIVERED IN AN INNOVATIVE NEW WAY

We’re a charity and a social enterprise. We make money just like a business but we don’t have any shareholders, so we reinvest 100% of our profits back into our social mission.

100% of the profits from 93 Talent are used to fund our programmes and events, delivered by our volunteers and staff.

University Network

Inclusive Recruitment

The country’s first careers service and recruitment agency exclusively for state-educated students. We work with employers to create opportunities to attract, recruit and retain diverse talent. This could be through our online platform, at our in-person events, or with special co-designed programmes.

Employability Events

Careers Resources

Student Mentoring Scholarships

Students

Students get support to develop their economic, social and cultural capital - and in turn improve their potential for upwards social mobility.

We are also supported by a small group of generous donors who help to fund our events and scholarships.

TRUSTED BY THE BIGGEST NAMES

We’ve become the social mobility partner of choice for some of the UK’s largest employers, helping to widen access to a range of industries for our students.

We’ve scooped up trophies and medals in some of the industry’s most prestigious awards for our work to help more students get hired into top roles with employers.

We’re a member of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (registration number 204648), who check that we follow the highest standards when providing recruitment and employment services.

DON’T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT

Our students are the leaders of tomorrow. After passing through our programmes and events, they have all the skills and confidence they need to achieve their life and career goals.

I owe a lot of the person I am today to The 93% Club and I am so grateful for the opportunities I’ve had.

I am infinitely more assured, adaptive, and resilient because of the opportunities and challenges I’ve faced in my role volunteering with The 93% Club.

I have no doubt that a large part of the reason I got the job I’ve wanted for years was down to the skills and experience I have gained thanks to The 93% Club.

JOIN US IN PERSON

Get back on campus and join the leading employers who are hiring from the largest network of stateeducated students. At our events, we bring together hundreds of students and hundreds of professionals to make a tangible impact on the career trajectory of the students we support.

A ‘conveyor belt’ of career-boosting activities to manufacture social mobility at scale

The Social Mobility Factory was launched in 2022 as a creative new way to boost the employability of our students. Bringing together 150 students and 150 professionals in London, we put on employer-led workshops, mock interviews, CV reviews, headshot photography, career advice, networking and more. At the end of the day, our students have everything they need to hit the graduate job market with a bang.

NOW OPEN FOR 2023

There are so many ways for employers to join the fun at our next Social Mobility Factory in April 2023. Get in touch and we can pull together some ideas to fit your budget.

Headline Sponsorship

Put your employer brand front and centre of by becoming an event supporter

Every year, we work with two or three key partners who help us bring the event together. In return, we offer an unrivalled opportunity to reach one of the country’ most diverse student populations.

Employer Workshops Careers Funfair

Share your skills and provide tangible tips and tricks to our students

We partner with employers who share our values to provide hands-on workshops and activities that will create opportunities for students without professional networks to interact with recruiters and leaders.

Bring your banners and your brochures for a careers fair unlike any other

We hate regular careers fairs, so at our ‘funfairs’ every employer comes with an interactive activity to help the students develop their employability skills whilst discovering your early talent schemes.

Bursting the London bubble by bringing opportunities and change to the North

Level Up is our new Autumn format focusing on the challenges facing our students in the North. Featuring discussions with students, employers and policy makers, we facilitate collaboration between stakeholders to shape the levelling up agenda whilst putting our students front and centre. We also deliver our trademark offering of career support, employability advice, LinkedIn headshots and networking for attendees.

awards The 93% Club

Recognising and rewarding the committees who run our 35 student groups across the UK

Another brilliant way to engage with our students is to sponsor an award at our annual celebration. It’s a great chance to meet students from across all our clubs.

Reaching our students in every corner of the country

As a national charity, we support our student committees at more than 35+ universities to run bespoke events. If you want to target a particular campus, just let us know.
