Jobs for Youth

50 Jobs for young people in Eastern Melbourne

What is “Jobs for Youth”?

The Eastern Metropolitan Partnership is an advisory group established by the Victorian Government. One of the Eastern Metropolitan Partnerships six priority outcomes is Jobs for Youth to improve the transition from secondary school to meaningful training and employment for the region’s young people.

Building upon the findings of the Partnership’s Jobs for Youth research, we at the Outer Eastern Local Learning and Employment Network (OELLEN) will:

  • Create 50 jobs for young people in the region by connecting young people with potential employers

  • Trial three youth and industry forums to strengthen information and coordinated employment pathways
