Welcome to
Central Grampians LLEN
As one of 31 Local Learning and Employment Networks funded by the Victorian State Department of Education and Training, we work with our community partners to facilitate programs and activities that help local youth engage in education, training and other opportunities.
Our focus is ensuring young people develop the skills they need to pursue employment and thrive in the workforce. Central Grampians LLEN assists in the delivery of Structured Workplace Learning (SWL), hands-on activities, youth-friendly events and other important skills development initiatives.
Our MATES Mentoring program currently operates in nine schools throughout Ararat and the Northern Grampians Shire, matching young people with positive role models from the community.
We also deliver the Central Grampians TAC L2P Program across Ararat Rural City, Northern Grampians Shire and Pyrenees Shire.
