What is the Future Jobs Fund?

The Future Jobs Fund is an exciting new initiative, backed by significant money, which will help to generate jobs for those in greatest need, particularly young people, and also in areas of high unemployment. It is an important part of the Government's commitment to delivering real help for young people and those who face barriers to employment, making sure people stay connected with the labour market and do not suffer the adverse effects of long-term unemployment.

In the Budget the Government announced that they would be introducing a major new Jobs Fund. This aims to ceate 150,000 jobs between October 2009 and April 2011 providing real help for young people and those who face significant disadvantages in the labour market.
