GREAT STRIDES IN LEICESTER FOR FIRST FUTURE JOBS FOR YOUNGSTERS
Employment and Welfare Reform Minister Jim Knight MP today (20 November) visited award winning social enterprise Stride to meet some of the first young people in the East Midlands to benefit from the national £1 billion Future Jobs Fund.
More than 3,600 jobs have been pledged so far across the East Midlands to help young people and those in unemployment hotspots get jobs. Over a thousand of these new opportunities will be in Leicester city and county.
The minister met previously unemployed 18-24 year olds who have now found work through the Future Jobs Fund including Scott Dainton (21) of Fleckney, working for Stride as a brickwork technician and Marija Ilic (20) from Leicester working in Stride’s furniture warehouse in administration.
