Local Learning and Employment Networks

Incorporate three key themes in the Victorian Government's commitment to education reform.

These are:

• community building
• innovation
• development of infrastructure.

These three themes are inter-dependent and provide the foundation for community building through enhancing networks and partnerships. Taken together they indicate a significant shift of emphasis away from centralised decision making by government through institutions to one of empowerment of communities to make decisions through local partnerships.

LLENs are based largely on local government area boundaries and from 2002 will cover all of Victoria.

LLENs will:

• bring together local education providers, local employers, local councils and other interested people in the community
• identify gaps in the provision of education and training locally
• plan the development and delivery of educational programs for young people which will assist in meeting the targets for better completion rates and employment outcomes
• take a strategic approach to developing pathways for local young people, especially those at risk of dropping out
• monitor these pathways and outcomes to ensure that they are beneficial to young people
• advise the new Victorian Learning and Employment Skills Commission (VLESC) on the needs of young people in their area.
