otc & the shysters are working with Gecko Programmes Ltd to support the creation of jobs for young people approaching twelve months of unemployment. These jobs focussing on the creative and cultural industries are additional positions. Two-thirds of them must be found for young people in the 18-24 age category who have been unemployed for between 39 and 50 weeks but as Coventry has been considered an unemployment “Hotspot” people over 25 will be eligible for the remainder.
