The Peterborough Future Jobs Fund has now employed all 167 young people in Phase 1 of its project.The scheme has been a resounding success, with more than 20 public and voluntary sector organisations in the city coming together to create jobs for young people who have been unemployed between 26 and 50 weeks.
Three extra Future Jobs Fund positions were created in the city by the British Trust of Conservation Volunteers, Cambs Fire and Rescue and The Peterborough Women’s Centre, bringing the total number of people employed up to 170.
Future Jobs Fund roles include microbiologists at NHS Peterborough (pictured right), community development workers at Peterborough City Council, heritage assistants at Peterborough Museum and many more.
Gary Conder, Peterborough’s Future Jobs Fund project manager said; “It is fantastic that we have been able to fill all FJF positions allocated in Phase 1 and more. Each young person who is currently working in a Future Jobs Fund post who I have met has shown fantastic potential and enthusiasm.”
The Future Jobs Fund is beneficial to all Peterborough residents. All Future Jobs Fund roles must be of benefit to the local community, roles fall into the category of improving health, improving the environment or community work.
Gary continued: “The initiative aims to create a lasting benefit to Peterborough by helping young people gain the essential skills for them to prosper in our growing city and at the same time make a difference to the communities and individuals they will be working with. This is brilliant news for all of Peterborough’s residents, not just those young people employed through the Future Jobs Fund.”
Recently, Future Jobs Fund young people have been volunteering by picking litter in Peterborough’s streets as part of the BIG Tidy Up litter picking campaign (pictured right).
