Eligile Projects

• A specific project is to be undertaken.
• It must be a finite, short term project, preferably for less than four months.
• The work must not be at the expense of other, normal work.
• The work must not be part of the current year's normal programme although work brought forward or which speeds up work on a planned project is eligible.
• The project must not be eligible for any other government grant or subsidy.
• All organisations participating in this programme can engage staff Only from tertiary students referred for the job by the Department of Labour.
• Employers choose from those students referred and are under no obligation if none is suitable.
• The jobs available must be for full time work. Workers must be paid wages in accordance with the relevant reward or industrial instrument.
• Employers must agree to make their wage records available for inspection, if necessary, by Department of Labour officers.

If a project is approved, employers will be required to complete a questionnaire on the project, which will be used by the Ministry of Recreation and Sport to evaluate the programme.
