NELLEN

The North East Local Learning and Employment Network (NELLEN) is one of 31 Local Learning and Employment Networks (LLENs) funded by the Victorian Department of Education and Training (DET). NELLEN’s core objective is to improve education and employment participation, engagement, attainment and transition for all secondary school aged young people within the geographical boundaries of four local government areas – Alpine, Indigo and Towong shires and the City of Wodonga. In addition, NELLEN works within and alongside vulnerable communities of young people, up to the age of 25 years, who are at risk of an incomplete transition from their secondary school life. NELLEN achieves this by bringing together education providers, businesses, community and government organisations to facilitate partnerships that particularly focus upon supporting young people who are at risk of disengaging, or who have already disengaged, from education and who have not found an educational, vocational or employment alternative.
