Partnership Broker

The Wimmera Southern Mallee LLEN Partnership Broker is in charge of implementing 'The School Business Community Partnership Brokers Program.'

This program fosters a whole-of-community approach to supporting young people as they learn and develop; with a key goal of ensuring that young Australians attain year 12 or equivalent qualifications.

The program operates nationally and is based on the principle that education and training for young people is a collective responsibility.

WSM LLEN aims to build on partnerships between schools and training organisations, business and industry, community organisations and parents and families.

Partnership Brokers bring people from different sectors of the community together to build partnerships that address the challenges facing young people.
