A JOBS fund has been launched to create 100 new jobs for long term unemployed young people in Tower Hamlets to help them get a first step on the careers ladder.
The Future Jobs Fund will give jobseekers aged between 18 and 24, who have been out of work for more than 39 weeks a six month paid placement and the chance to study for a relevant qualification.
The scheme has been funded by a �650,000 Government grant as part of a joint bid made by four of the Olympic Host Boroughs.
The council will also contribute another �273,000 towards the scheme from the Working Neighbourhood Fund.
