Find Your Local LLEN
There are 31 LLENs across Victoria working with schools, industry, and community to help students connect with local career and learning opportunities.
What We Do
VicLLENs help bridge the gap between education and employment by connecting schools, industry, and community.
Through a network of 31 LLENs across Victoria, we create opportunities for students to explore careers, build skills, and engage with real-world learning.
We work closely with:
- Educators to support programs like Structured Workplace Learning and VET
- Employers and industry to offer mentoring, work placements, and exposure to different careers
- Communities to ensure local needs and voices shape every initiative
From career expos to hands-on learning, VicLLENs help young people discover their strengths and take confident steps toward the future.
Making a Difference
-
“Local Learning and Employment Networks are crucial to ensuring young people don’t fall through the cracks. As the Minister for Women, I’m immensely proud to see VicLLENs making a formal commitment to gender equality. Our government shares a vision for a safe and equal society, where all Victorians have equal access to power, resources and opportunities and are treated with dignity, fairness and respect. LLENs provide a fantastic example for other organisations to follow. You are helping create a better Victoria, a fairer Victoria, and I wish you the very best with your ongoing efforts to promote gender equality.”
Minister for Women, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence -
“I appreciate the commitment and contribution that the LLENs have made in fostering partnerships between schools and industry over this 20-year period, and the opportunities this has provided students as they transition into further education, training and employment pathways.”
Deputy Premier, Minister for Education and Minister for Mental Health -
“LLENs commenced because of the need to have focused and organised networks, programs and advocacy for young people. They were set around local governments because it was the level of engagement that was more direct, based on community and focused on accountability and delivery that rings true and hits the mark. They were an important initiative back then and – given the current scenarios for young people – are even more important now.”
