Community scheme finds jobs for 555 youngsters

A scheme to find jobs for young unemployed people in charities and social enterprises has already filled 555 vacancies.

Community Jobs Scotland, funded by the Scottish Government, aims to create 2000 paid jobs across every council area in Scotland by March of next year.

It is based on the model of the Future Jobs Fund, which was scrapped by the coalition government.
