We have a vision of improved education, training and employment outcomes for young people in the Outer East of Melbourne.
Who We Are & What We Do
The Outer Eastern Local Learning & Employment Network (OELLEN) is a community organisation funded by the Victorian Government to develop networks with schools, employers, community and families, to empower and link disengaged and vulnerable youth to education, training,and employment pathways in the local government areas of Knox, Maroondah and Yarra Ranges. The OELLEN is also funded to deliver the Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) program in those three local government areas.The SWL funding enables OELLEN to engage with local employers to provide placements that are tailored to local priorities and employment opportunities.Partnering with local services is key to how OELLEN operates and we seek to serve the community by working with local services which improve the Region's economy and autonomy.
