The North Central LLEN Careers Education Partnership (CEP) brings together schools, industry, and the community to deliver high-quality career education across the region. Our goal is to ensure every young person has the knowledge, skills, and support they need to make confident decisions about their future.

​

What the partnership offers schools:

​

• Dedicated Careers Practitioners working directly with students, teachers, and leadership teams.

• A coordinated regional careers program that provides consistent, high-quality opportunities across all participating schools.

• Personalised student support - including Career Action Plans (Years 9–12), one-on-one guidance, pathway planning, and transition assistance.

• School leaver support – help with VTAC applications, scholarships, and pathway planning, plus follow-up for up to 12 months after finishing school.

• Up-to-date careers resources – weekly newsletter, open day details, scholarship opportunities, apprenticeships & traineeships, and the annual School Leavers Guide.

• Professional learning and collaboration for school staff, supporting a whole-school approach to careers.

• Leadership and coordination that connect schools, industry, and community to create meaningful pathways for young people.

• Strong industry connections, linking students with local employers and programs such as Head Start and Branch Out Mentoring.

• The CEP reflects a shared commitment to rural students by increasing access to quality career education and positive transition opportunities. Together, we are helping young people across the North Central region explore their options, build their strengths, and take confident steps toward their future in education, training, or employment.
