(2) Applicants have been given 11 business days to apply. This was considered ample time for applicants to complete the application. The department has received significant interest in response to the advertising of this program. (3) Up to 25 applicants will be selected in 2007-08. (4)-(5) Existing Department of Industry and Resources and Innovation Centre Western Australia staff will be attending to the administration of the program and workshop event coordination.
