Gateway Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN)
Building a brighter future for Young People
Gateway Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) is one 31
Victorian LLENs. The goal of the LLENs is to improve post
compulsory education and training opportunities in Victoria.
Gateway LLEN encompasses the local government areas of Whitehorse,
Manningham and Monash and works with key stakeholders within these
communities.
Since its inception in 2002, Gateway LLEN has facilitated and
implemented a number of programs that support 10 - 19 year olds to
engage in education and training. The initiatives tend to focus on
'at risk' youth and aim to increase their engagement in relevant
and practical learning opportunities that lead to a supported
transition through education, training and onto employment.

Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLENs)
Connecting local groups to improve education, training and
employment options for 10-19 year olds
LLENs have operated from 2002 to 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.
From 1 January 2010 the School Business Community Partnership
Brokers program in Victoria is delivered through the Local Learning
and Employment Network jointly funded by the Australian and
Victorian Governments under the National Partnership on Youth
Attainment and Transitions, a joint initiative of the Australian
and State and Territory Governments. LLENs continue to exist to
help improve education, training and employment options for young
people with an extension of the age range from 15-19 years to 10-19
years. LLENs work particularly to assist those at risk of making
poor transitions from compulsory schooling to the next stage of
their lives and careers. LLENs continue to be managed by the
Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development
(DEECD).
There are 31 Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLENs) in
Victoria.
Gateway LLEN would like to acknowledge the following
organisations for supporting Gateway VCAL learners:
