Youth

Connecting Young People with Opportunities

 

  • Creating career connections
  • Inspiring future pathways
  • Connecting young people with opportunities
  • Building aspirations through experience

GMLLEN creates meaningful opportunities for young people to connect with industry, education providers and the wider community. Through a range of experiences and activities, we help young people explore career options, build aspirations and gain a better understanding of the pathways available to them.

The more opportunities young people have to engage with the world of work and further education, the more confident and informed they become when making decisions about their future. These experiences help build awareness, motivation and a sense of connection to their community and career goals.

We work alongside employers, industry representatives, education providers and community organisations to share knowledge, insights and opportunities with young people. Through presentations, workshops and career conversations, young people gain valuable information about different industries, occupations and support services available to help them achieve their goals.

GMLLEN also provides immersive Virtual Reality experiences, through their VIC VICE program, which allows young people to explore workplaces and industries they may not otherwise access. We also provide the backbone support for North East Victoria's largest Career Expo for Secondary School students; Careers Day Out.

  • Career and pathway presentations
  • Local labour market insights
  • Workplace and industry engagement opportunities

By working together, we help young people build aspirations, explore career possibilities and make informed decisions about their future pathways.
