Future
Jobs Fund
2010
~ ~ ~
We were successful in bidding for funds earlier in the year to create jobs for 18 - 24 year olds
across our four sites, with jobs as diverse as office and admin, trainee engineers, drivers and
warehouse staff.
A total of 35 young people will benefit from the scheme run by the Department of Work & Pensions
administered locally by Dorset County Council over a period of 18 months, helping Dorset Reclaim
to benefit from an influx of new talent.
We will be providing jobs for a period of 6 months with full training.
Of the first intake of 18, we are hoping to retain 3 on further temporary contracts, with one
to go on to an apprenticeship in engineering.

WEEE: Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.
Designed and created by volunteer Peter Kennewell at Dorchester Depot, the "WEEE Fella" and his
dog, made of disused household appliances, helped the Dorset Reclaim team, along with our partners
from the Council, win first prize in the small exhibitor category.
We teamed up with Dorset County Council and West Dorset District Council to show the benefits
of reusing and recycling household items.
