Campaspe Cohuna Local Learning & Employment Network

As a LLEN, we are a grouping of organisations and individuals interested and involved in the wellbeing, education, training and employment of young people. Our purpose is to support young people, particularly those who are vulnerable, to improve their engagement with education and training leading to the completion of Year 12 or its equivalent.

There are 31 LLENs across Victoria. The CCLLEN’s geographic boundary is inclusive of the Shire of Campaspe and Cohuna in the Gannawarra Shire. LLEN’s are funded by the Victorian Department of Education & Training.

Our stakeholder group encompasses education and training providers, business and industry, community organisations, industry and parents and families. The CCLLEN brokers partnerships with these stakeholders that assist with the successful transitioning of our young people through education and into employment.

LLENs across Victoria are funded to develop partnerships which result in an increase in the number and range of school-employer engagement activities, including:

Structured workplace learning, work experience and school community work
School based apprenticeships and traineeships
Guest speakers and presenters from industry
Workplace visits and industry tours
Mock interviews and work-readiness preparation
