Hi, I'm Jake!
I'm best known for my work helping young people to create careers that they love. I run workshops at Schools, Colleges and Universities helping young adults to take steps towards fulfilling work. I share the small, incremental steps I took from: a NEET school leaver with no idea what career I wanted to follow; to advising senior business leaders across Europe about company values. All the while, trying to "Find" my passion and work that I love.
Alongside the work I do with young people in education, I also advise CEIAG businesses and brands around how to use TikTok to better connect with young people. I started posting excerpts from my talks on TikTok and had a great response on educational and informative content. Since then I've started sharing tips, tricks and advice for businesses that want to support young people with their futures.
I'm interested in Social Entrepreneurship and lowering the barriers to entry that many young people face getting started in their own pursuits. When I'm not working, I am a musician, a footballer and a board gamer.
