Community Jobs Scotland (CJS) is a partnership between the Scottish Government, Scottish
Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) and the Scottish Social Enterprise Coalition (SSEC).
It will create 2,000 jobs within third sector organisations for primarily 18 - 24 year olds but will also
include a proportion of 16 - 17 and 25+ year olds.
The key purpose of Community Jobs Scotland is to support young people into sustainable
employment. Employers who apply to create jobs must be able to demonstrate a commitment to
provide a high quality job. This includes provision of Induction, on-the job training, support and
supervision and jobsearch support. These commitments are detailed in the Memorandum of
Understanding. This Employer Registration forms a part of the Memorandum of Understanding.
Community Jobs Scotland will cover the wide range of occupational sectors within the Scottish
third sector and meet the needs of eligible young unemployed people.

The focus of the programme will be supporting young people into sustainable jobs. Training
