Verification notes
Append-only correction to the same canonical Barbados Job Start Plus identity after a transport transcription typo in an earlier same-run shard. Rechecked against the current Government of Barbados service page: eligibility is ages 16–24, or ages 16–34 for a person with a disability, with registration open throughout the year. The official paper registration route remains available; the linked online form endpoint still returns 404.
