Northern Mallee LLEN, is a not-for-profit organisation works closely with schools, students, and the industry to identify gaps in education and training, provide advice on local and state-wide policy issues at both the strategic and operational level and broker cross sector partnerships to better support young people.
Funded by the State Government, Northern Mallee LLEN is one of the 31 LLENs across Victoria that were established in 2001 with the objective of improving career pathways for young people. Northern Mallee LLEN engages with industry and schools to provide schools with access to quality Work Based Learning (WBL) opportunities that meet the needs of local students and industry. This includes Structured Workplace Learning Placements (SWL), Work Experience (WE), and School Based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBATs).
NMLLEN help’s bridge the gap between education and employment by connecting schools, industry, and community.
We work closely with:
- Educators to support programs like Structured Workplace Learning and VET
- Employers and industry to offer mentoring, work placements, and exposure to different careers
- Communities to ensure local needs and voices shape every initiative
From career expos to hands-on learning, NMLLEN help’s young people discover their strengths and take confident steps toward the future.
