Northern Mallee LLEN participated in the Sunraysia Careers Network (SCN) and was represented on both the Network and Executive Committee. SCN supports career information sharing across all school levels, VET and higher education, work based learning and professional development for members. SCN meets regularly throughout the school year, with Northern Mallee LLEN reporting on School to Work activities.
In Term 4 of 2025, Northern Mallee LLEN facilitated a Sunraysia Careers Network Professional Development Day themed “The Law.” Members visited the Mallee Justice Service Centre, Mildura Law Courts and Middleton Maisner Legal, gaining insights into career pathways within the justice and legal sectors and how these pathways connect to VET and higher education.
Teacher PD Day
The Northern Mallee LLEN Teacher PD Day was a new initiative in 2025. Designed for Curriculum Leaders, Teachers, Careers Coordinators and VET Coordinators, the day provided opportunities to engage directly with industry in the workplace to see how it operates, how technology and AI impact the work environment and translate real‑world insights into classroom practice.
- The day featured two industry streams:
- Health (including Allied Health) and
Winery Operations (Food Processing, - Manufacturing and Logistics)
Each stream included three leading regional organisations delivering themed workplace experiences focused on industry operations, the impact of AI, employment frameworks and available career pathways
