12.05.2010

It is usually assumed that charities pester everyone for support and to give time and money. Friendship Zone is new charity which is unique as no other employing already more than 50 young hopefuls in Northampton, giving them a chance for a 6 month paid work contract with the organisation. The job role is Project Administrator which includes promoting and moderating the Social Networking website of Friendship Zone. The Charity provides 6 months contract job which includes also 6 weeks teaching on IT skills, telemarketing, how to make friends, and the prospect of finding employment.

Christian Jeyes (22) finished his studies at University of Northampton. It took him more than 6 months until he found the Project Administrator role at Friendship Zone. During these 6 months Christian spent his time actively looking at job sites daily, attending Meridian business/employment course, continuing improving and practicing his skills at home. He also learnt new skills such as sign language and German.

Christine Wright (21) was responsible for a yard of hunting horses’ daily care and exercise at her previous job. While she looked for a job, Christine learned Today routes into retail course. Christine found her current job after one year job hunting. This is Christine’s third week at Friendship Zone and she is glad to improve her IT skills as well as learning more about how to socialise with friends online and what to keep in mind when searching for her future jobs.

Christopher Tite (23) was without job for more than 5 months. Previously Christopher worked as a cook for many years; he also worked at St. Andrews for 2 years as a rehabilitation assistant. He feels his time at Friendship Zone will give him a unique opportunity, because the role of Project Administrator includes not only job but also some training which will be very useful in his permanent job searching process.

Marcel Dionne Greer (23) is happy to improve his IT skills and to share his knowledge in this field making organisation’s work more efficient.

Sophie O’Connor (19) attended a retail course with Learn Today which is run by the jobcentre plus while she was unemployed. It took Sophie almost until she was offered the Project Administrator position. Sophie felt very relieved and happier now that she had finally been offered a job. About the job at Friendship Zone Sophie feels it is a good way of communicating with new people who she now can consider them as friends.

For Stuart Clayson (19) it took him a year to finally get a job. And he is grateful for this chance to get a 6 months contract job. Below are some few reasons:
- During his time with the Charity he will have the chance to understand the role of Project Administrator and whether to carry on in this field. Even if that is not the case than it will be a great chance to learn new skills or improve his existent knowledge;

Juris has been working as a teacher for the past 25 years.. His dream was to spend his Birthday somewhere away from the office together with colleagues and students.

A fragment of Juris’ Good Story after the celebration of Birthday Dream Party: "Definitely Red Hot restaurant and Friendship Zone know how to throw a Birthday party! I wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much fun we had at your place yesterday. The lunch was spectacular and the staff of Red Hot was brilliant. It was a very nice day I spent together with my students and colleagues. Everyone discovered Red Hot in a different way.."
