5 Unmissable Opportunities to Attract Young People to Your Industry

Our core work is to help connect young people with the best job for them. Often, there may be ample opportunities that are available, but young people might not know where to find them.

A Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) placement is more than just a chance to give a young person an opportunity to experience the workforce. Hosting an SWL placement is an investment in our future workforce. There’s no better way to entice young people to pursue a career in your field than to offer them an immersive, hands-on experience. VicLLENs facilitates SWL placements across the state, ensuring that the process of enrolling and onboarding students is seamless. Learn more about SWL placements here. For many industries, skill shortages are driving a need to attract a new cohort of fresh talent into the workforce. Here are five ways you can help us help you to leverage the energy and ambition of young graduates.

1. Feature on ‘Come to Work With Me’

VicLLENs are currently hosting a weekly Q&A session with young ambassadors across a variety of industries. The 15-minute webinars are an opportunity for students to explore a vast range of career pathways they may never have considered before. Would you like to have a young industry representative featured on Come To Work With Me to showcase the exciting elements of working in your sector? Contact us here.
