📢 Exciting News! The School to Work Program is underway! 🚀 Attention all employers! We are thrilled to announce the launch of our brand new School to Work program, aimed at facilitating work-based learning opportunities for students. ???Why is Work-Based Learning so important, you ask??? Well, it provides students with a valuable opportunity to gain a better understanding of employer expectations, develop essential employability skills, and help make informed decisions about their career pathways. The School to Work Program offers five types of work-based learning experiences: 1️⃣ Work Experience: Hands-on placements that give students a taste of different industries.  2️⃣ Structured Workplace Learning (SWL): Regular placements that allow students to apply their skills in real-world settings.  3️⃣ School-Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs): Non-government school students can engage in apprenticeships and traineeships while completing their studies.  4️⃣ Workplace Visits and Industry Tours: Opportunities for students to explore different workplaces and gain industry insights.  5️⃣ Life Skills Programs and Work-Readiness Activities: Collaborative initiatives that directly involve industry professionals, preparing students for the workforce. Together we can bridge the gap between education and industry, and empower our students for success! #SchoolToWork #WorkBasedLearning #EmpoweringStudents #CareerPathways VicLLENs - Victorian Local Learning and Employment Networks

A fantastic day spent with like minded people SocialTraders Convene 2024. We learnt so many things from great speakers and expanded our knowledge of the values of social procurement and trading. The highlight was meeting people who are as passionate about Social values as we at Inner Eastern LLEN . We look forward to connecting with like minded organisations and people in the future, Human Quotient Group Cuppa FSEH #HumbleBrag #ESG #SocialTrade

Thank you, Yarra Valley Water, for supporting Strathcona Girls Grammar with their Careers in STEM talk program! Bronwyn Herron and Roger Kumarasinghe provided invaluable insights into careers in water, their personal journeys, and Yarra Valley Water's essential work in our community. The students were captivated by the speakers and asked insightful questions. We're confident that this experience has opened their eyes to the exciting opportunities available in the water industry. A special thanks to Jenny Hiller and Australian Water Association for connecting us with Roger and Bronwyn from YVW. The IELLEN loved collaborating with the school and Xin Chen on this program and can't wait to continue inspiring students in 2025.

Our new Vet Cluster is getting positive results with some fantastic feedback from Bemin Secondary College "it is to deal with a really well run LLEN, I am very impressed by how smooth and simple your information is, from your VET application portal, to the wonderful VET offerings, which I feel I can say is far beyond what students in the west have access to". Congratulations Penny #VetCluster #Secondary Education #VocationalEducation
