The Future Jobs Fund will run until March 2011 Young Person’s Guarantee The 2009 Budget announced the Young Person's Guarantee. This guarantees all 18 to 24 year olds who are coming towards the 6 to 12 month stage of their claim to Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA): An offer of a job (either a new job through the Future Jobs Fund or an existing job in a key employment sector). Work focused training. A place on a Community Task Force. The Guarantee will start in 2010 but we will make some elements available before then. In July 2009, for example, we announced the creation of up to 47,000 jobs as part of the Young Persons Guarantee. The first of these jobs will be available in October this year. In return for this significant investment the Government will require all eligible young people to accept a job, training or work experience. This will give many thousands of young invaluable skills and work experience that will help them secure a worthwhile job. This will ensure that no young adult is permanently disadvantaged by the recession.

Crew Club Offer As part of the Future Jobs Fund the Crew Club are offering two employment opportunities. One is a trainee music worker post and the other is a trainee admin/receptionist post. If you are aged 18 to 24 and have been on JSA for a minimum of 6 months you can apply. To apply you will need to fill in an application form and bring it into the Crew Club or take it to a Jobs Centre Plus advisor.
