What is the CCLLEN?

The CCLLEN is a grouping of organisations and individuals interested and involved in the wellbeing,
education, training and employment of young people. Our core objective is to improve participation,
engagement, attainment and transition outcomes for young people. There are 31 LLENs across
Victoria. The CCLLEN’s geographic boundary is inclusive of the Shire of Campaspe and Cohuna in
the Gannawarra Shire.
The CCLLEN’s stakeholder group encompasses education and training providers, business
and industry, community organisations, and parents and families. The CCLLEN undertakes the
brokering of partnerships with these stakeholders to assist with the successful transitioning of our
young people through education and training into employment.

The CCLLEN holds funding agreements or Memorandums of Understanding for four major programs.
The Local Learning and Employment Network Partnership Brokerage Funding is for the purpose
of brokering sustainable partnerships that increase the rate of secondary school age students
who are engaged in education or training. LLENs play a vital role in establishing partnerships and
pathways that connect young people to the initiatives that meet their needs and improve their
prospects of engaging in education, training and employment.
The Structured Workplace Learning Program works with secondary schools and local employers
to source hosts for work placements for structured workplace learning and school based
apprenticeships and traineeships. A web-based portal is used to list the placement opportunities
for students and schools to search.
The Echuca Moama Beacon Foundation operates a careers program for Echuca College, Echuca
Specialist School, Moama Anglican Grammar, St Joseph’s College, and River City Christian College,
and has contracted CCLLEN to deliver key elements of the program.
Campaspe Youth Partnerships is a partnership of 21 organisations including schools, community
organisations and local government. Funding comes from various sources and is used across the
schools for a number of programs.
