The Future Jobs Fund Shop is now open!

This morning saw the opening of the Future Jobs Fund Shop.

The shop, which is at 67 Long Causeway, Peterborough, was opened at 9am this morning by Leader of the Council, Marco Cereste.

Speaking on the Future Jobs Fund, Marco said:
“The Future Jobs Fund is a fantastic initiative which is proving to be really popular with Peterborough young people. I’m glad that we have been able to help so many young people through the scheme and hope we can continue to offer them support and assistance through the Future Jobs Fund shop”

The shop will serve as a centre which young people can visit to find out about the latest opportunities available through the Future Jobs Fund. The shop will also provide a base for young people employed in the scheme to visit if they have any work related questions. A Future Jobs Fund employee manager will always be available in the shop to offer support and advice to the 100 plus Future Jobs Fund employees in the city.

It was great to see so many Future Jobs Fund employees at the shop opening - some of which spoke to Heart Fm about their Future Jobs Fund experience.

At the opening, Caroline Rowan, Future Jobs Fund deputy project manager said:
“Having a shop presence allows us to provide a centre for Future Jobs Fund employees to visit if they require support or assistance whilst part of the Future Jobs Fund scheme. The shop also provides a place where the local community can visit to find out more about the Future Jobs Fund scheme in Peterborough and what it has to offer the city.”
