Info for Schools
Young people are growing up in a world of rapidly changing work. Ensuring they are prepared for change is a challenge our schools and communities must meet for Victoria’s future. Our prosperity depends on our young people being ready for the new higher skilled economy.
South West LLEN builds partnerships in local areas to help young people:
stay at, and achieve in, school
understand the opportunities and pathways available, and
transition to employment or further education.
South West LLEN bring schools, industry and the community together to address:
the absence of careers support in schools
the absence of accurate labour market information in communities
the difficulty young people face gaining work experience, and
the devaluing of vocational education pathways, that will be important in the future.
THE SWL PORTAL
The SWL Portal is a public website available to students and schools across Victoria, allowing them to search appropriate placements. The portal is regularly updated with new opportunities across a range of industries and vocations.
So far, the SWL portal has assisted with the arrangements of over 5500 placements.
