Future Jobs Fund

The Future Jobs Fund is a programme designed to create jobs for adults (aged 18-24).

With our partners, Gloucestershire First has created 130 jobs in the county to give career starters the opportunity to gain six months of work experience. Alongside the job, young people can access training and qualifications so that, at the end of the six months they have the experience, skills and reference to achieve full time employment.
