Commonwealth Jobs Fund - Jobs for 1000 unemployed young people
The Commonwealth Jobs Fund was unveiled at the 13th annual State of the City Economy Conference by Councillor Gordon Matheson, Leader of Glasgow City Council. Tackling youth unemployment and supporting the local economy are two key priorities for the council. This scheme will be aimed at people aged 18-24 who have been unemployed for more than six months and who live in Glasgow.
It follows the continued success of the Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative,
which has again provided places for hundreds of Glaswegian school-leavers in
2010. Both schemes are designed to contribute to the legacy of the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games. Councillor Matheson told the city’s business leaders: “I am
delighted to announce the establishment of a new fund which will create 1000 new jobs in the city by July 2012."
