Getting to know you...

The Future Jobs Fund Project has really come to life over the past two weeks.

I have had the opportunity to meet the young people who are applying for our fantastic jobs. I recently spent two days at Peterborough Job Centre helping young people fill in their application forms.

I feel very confident that the calibre of young people is truly brilliant in Peterborough and the host companies working with us on this project should look forward to having bright, enthusiastic candidates working with them very shortly!

One young person I was speaking to told me that they had always wanted to be a paramedic. They had never dreamed that they would be able to do this, but by applying for the youth health trainer job they have made a step towards their ideal career.

Today I have been with the Princes Trust team at Fletton Youth club. What a great bunch of young people; cheeky, lively and very confident - just the kind of people we are looking for.

I can't wait to see where the Future Jobs Fund will take them.
