Five unemployed young people are now in paid employment
courtesy of ?North Somerset Housing?, YMCA Training and the Future
Jobs Fund.
Sam, Kerrie, James, Victoria and Matthew will gain experience of
housing, IT and Learning and Development, and will be able to use
these new skills in future careers.
YMCA Training is working closely with NSHousing to provide the new
starters with a dedicated employment coach and individually-focused
training plans so that they can get the most out of their
training.
The Future Jobs Fund aims to create around 150,000 jobs
nationally, with 100,000 aimed at 18-24 year olds who are out of
work and in receipt of Jobseekers Allowance for a certain period of
time. Those who take up a Future Jobs Fund position will gain
experience, develop important work-based skills and make a real
difference in their community.
