Verification notes
Verified on the current official programme page. The page states an 89-day duration, 20–40 hours/week and $3.50/hour remuneration. A previously indexed specific sector vacancy is closed, so this record represents only the current programme/form route and does not reuse that closed vacancy identity.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
