GCC launches Commonwealth Graduate Fund
Glasgow City Council (GCC) leader Gordon Matheson has launched a new £10m initiative to create 1,000 jobs for graduates as part of a legacy from the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
The Commonwealth Graduate Fund (CGF) will pay 50 per cent of employers' salary costs for each candidate recruited, up to a maximum of £10,000 per graduate for one year.
It is follows two other projects linked to the legacy of the 2014 Games; the Commonwealth Apprenticeship Initiative and the Commonwealth Jobs Fund.
Matheson said: "Graduates account for 32 per cent of our workforce, well above the UK average, and I want those leaving university to believe they can fulfil their dreams in this city."
