Young people in Birmingham are being given the chance to take to the airwaves, thanks to the Future Jobs Fund and a successful bid in the West Midlands from The Skills Partnership working with Media–Kube to offer over 50 jobs as production assistants, researchers and presenters at an internet based radio station in Birmingham.

The jobs will be created in Birmingham, and the eight round of winning Future Jobs Fund (FJF) bidders, will create over 6,000 new jobs nationally, and means 117,000 new jobs have been funded so far.

Media Kube, is a creative media company based in Highgate who help young people aged 16-24 who want to work in the creative industries. With The Skills Partnership they set up and run media / music creative apprenticeships to give people experience and training. The Future Jobs Fund will be used to set up and run a local community internet/ digital radio station, Kube Radio. The station which will be launching at the end of April is aimed at young people and will reflect the culturally diverse music scene of Birmingham.

Chris Williamson CEO of Media-Kube said:

“The launch of Kube Radio is a fantastic opportunity for young people to gain experience in digital media. Not only will it offer job opportunities for young people but it will also benefit the wider community. We are really excited about getting this project off the ground.”
