Michael Kelly has been unemployed for 15 months before being offered the Events Coordinator role at New Link through the Future Jobs Fund scheme. He started his new post on the 16th February 2010.
New Link is an information and advice service which is available to new arrivals to Peterborough. They offer help and advice to asylum seekers, refugees and new migrants by advising them on access to employment, health services, welfare benefits and migration. Michael’s role at New Link is primarily to help with the design and production of informational and promotional materials such as posters and leaflets for the project steering groups. He is also involved in organising and planning events like the forthcoming Refugee Week in June.
Since Michael started at New Link he has particularly "enjoyed being part of the steering group for the Refugee Week 2010 celebrations’’. Michael also had this to say about his new role ‘’ the post is a bit different to what I expected from this type of organisation, this is not a bad thing as I am really enjoying myself and the tasks I am asked to do.’’
"It has been very exciting meeting new people from a wide range of different communities and backgrounds since working here. The staff I work with have been excellent - they are all so helpful and friendly.’’
