- LLEN stands for Local Learning and Employment Network
- LLENs are an initiative of the Victorian Government.
- There are 31 LLENs covering the whole of Victoria.
- LLENs provide assistance to people aged between 10 and 19 with their plans for education, employment and training.
Organisations that are members of LLENs include:
- Schools
- TAFE's
- Community agencies
- Adult and Community Education providers
- Universities
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trade unions
- Employment agencies
- Local government
- Koorie organisations
Every LLEN is different, just as every area in Victoria is different. This ensures that each LLEN is able to assist with your individual needs.
LLENs play a central role in implementing the Victorian Government's post compulsory education and training reform agenda .
LLENs will facilitate partnerships and broker initiatives between education and training providers, other local service providers, local communities, industry and other LLENs.
The primary focus of the partnerships and initiatives is to improve education, training and employment outcomes for all young people 10 to 19 years old, with a particular focus on those young people who are at risk of disengaging, or who have already disengaged from education and training and are not in meaningful employment
LLENs are expected to support the development and maintenance of increasingly effective partnerships. Ideally this means that the LLEN supports the development and maintenance of collaborative partnerships between the key stakeholders as a non-partner facilitator to the partnership, as a valued source of fairness, encouragement, and as a resource to all partners.
