Gateway Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) aims to improve post compulsory education and training opportunities in Victoria. We encompass the local government areas of Whitehorse, Manningham and Monash and works with key stakeholders within these communities.
Since 2002, we have 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.
