Future Jobs GM

The Future Jobs GM Programme aims to enhance employment opportunities across Greater Manchester by fostering collaboration among ten local councils. Through a city-region approach, the program seeks to add value and create economies of scale, maximizing the impact of resources. The initiative offers transitional employment with a focus on real jobs rather than merely placements. With a goal of 8,000 jobs, partners include public services and private employers. The ethos emphasizes quality and integrity in job creation, ensuring young people have access and choice in employment.
