What We Do

The Outer Eastern Local Learning & Employment Network (OELLEN) is funded by the Victorian Government to develop networks with families, schools, and employers to help not engaged youth find valuable education, training, and employment pathways in Knox, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges; and to deliver the Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) program in these three areas. The SWL funding enables OELLEN to engage with local employers to provide placements that are tailored to local priorities and employment opportunities.

Who We Are

OELLEN is a community organisation that aims to empower young people who are disengaged from schools or employment in the Knox, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges areas. We do this through connecting young people with Educational programs or industry specific training. Partnering with local services is key to how OELLEN operates. We aim to serve the community by working with local services which improve the Region's economy and autonomy.
