The decision on the eligibility of the individual referred to by the Deputy for JobBridge was made by the Department on 15th January 2014 and communicated to the intended host organisation on the same day. The host organisation was advised that the internship could be commenced on the next available Monday, i.e., 20th January, 2014 by inserting a start date on their JobBridge account. However, since this was not done, the host organisation can commence this internship on any Monday within four weeks of the decision being communicated.

It is a matter for the host organisation to agree a start date with this individual within this time period and to then insert the start date on their JobBridge account. This internship can then take effect. The host organisation can contact the JobBridge team via the Contact Us section of the JobBridge website if they require any assistance in this matter.
