As part of the Victorian Governments response to unemployment concerns, the Jobs Victoria Advocates Program is a free program being delivered to communities across Victoria to assist individuals in finding employment. Highlands LLEN, in partnership with Central Grampians LLEN, will act as a host organisation to two Advocates, who will be engaging with community members and organisations to assist job seekers in finding employment. If you are unsure of your work options, the Jobs Victoria Advocates Program is here to help you!
