In 2001, 31 Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLEN) were established across Victoria. Each LLEN ‘creates strategic, sustainable partnerships that improve education and transition outcomes for young people, including increasing Year 12 or equivalent attainment rates. LLENs use their knowledge of the region to influence strategic planning and broker partnerships among key stakeholders to support young people to remain engaged or re-engage, in education or training’.
