Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLENs)
Connecting local groups to improve education, training and employment options for 15-19 year olds
LLENs connect employers, education and training providers, government groups, agencies and individuals to help turn business and community needs and ideas into new and innovative programs for young people.
LLENs exist to help improve education, training and employment options for 15–19 year olds, particularly those at risk of making poor transitions from compulsory schooling to the next stage of their lives and careers.
There are 31 Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLENs) in Victoria.

Success stories
Murray Mallee LLEN has been a key player in the Schools-Community Water Resource Project (SCWRP), which reconnects young people with learning while strengthening community connectedness.
SCWRP uses a partnership approach to deliver applied learning for secondary school students at risk of not finishing school. These young people follow a school-based curriculum but in a practical setting focusing on sustainable management of natural resources.
SCWRP has been very successful. In its first three years, 94% of over 220 participants stayed in education, training or employment.
