BNLLEN Chairperson BNLLEN Executive Officer

We are proud to present the Banyule Nillumbik Local Learning and Employment Network (BNLLEN) 2018 Annual Report, which outlines the key activities undertaken to improve education, training and employment pathways for young people in this region. We have continued to build on work commenced in previous years whilst also developing innovative new partnerships and activities which are detailed further in this report.In 2018 BNLLEN successfully delivered the following four contracts, funded by the Victorian Government:• Disengaged Students Grant (LLEN), Department of

Education & Training (DET)• Structured Workplace Learning (SWL), Department of

Education & Training (DET) • On Track Connect (DET) and• Banyule L2P Learner Mentor Driving Program, Transport

Accident Commission (TAC), VicRoads and Banyule City Council.

During this year we worked closely with the North Eastern Melbourne Area DET to share information, strategies and best practice between LLENs, School Focused Youth Services and DET. Through regular meetings and ongoing dialogue, we are working towards a better alignment of local DET priorities and LLEN workplans.The BNLLEN team continued to facilitate the regular series of events, networks and activities across our region including; Working Community, VCAL Network, Northern SBAT Network, Banyule Nillumbik Careers Network, Stories from My Life, School Leavers’ Guide and the SBAT Sample Sessions. We also continued to support local networks including the Banyule Nillumbik Youth Services Network Executive, Banyule Nillumbik Tech School and Melbourne Polytechnic Precinct Partnership. Throughout this year, we were able to successfully implement new initiatives including; the Banyule Real Industry Job Interviews Pilot Program, #findtheirfeet Interactive Career

Event, a new look Environmental Scan and the Intergenerational Health and Wellness Project which was nominated for a state award.These achievements are the result of our ability to connect with a range of local partner organisations including; local schools, further education and training providers, community agencies, business and industry, local and state governments. We have worked hard to maintain our networks and value the contribution of our partners to ensure we achieve the best possible outcomes. We are fortunate to have so many willing and active stakeholders and sincerely thank those who have worked with us this year.The staff of BNLLEN must be acknowledged for their commitment to our vision and dedication to their work, in what has been an extremely challenging year. Sincere thanks to the outstanding BNLLEN Team including; Sandra Monger, Ross Patterson, Colleen Hughes, Katrina Moody, Alison Barton, Tiziana Gillon, Maridina O’Keefe and Nadia Hollins. It is with mixed feelings that we farewell Katrina Moody this year. Katrina has provided the BNLLEN with exceptional service for more than 10 years and we are certain that she will continue to be successful in her new career with the DET.We are also grateful for the service of Dr George Giuliani who this year retired from the role of BNLLEN Chairperson. George has been an incredible leader, motivator and support during some of our most challenging and uncertain times. Special thanks, of course, to our Board Members who all willingly volunteer their time and skills to support our staff in delivering the excellent results that we continue to achieve.

YOUTH EMPLOYMENT STRATEGYIn 2018, we continued to develop a collaborative approach with Banyule City Council, Nillumbik Shire Council, further education and training providers, community agencies, secondary schools and any other stakeholders interested to establish a Youth Employment Taskforce. This partnership will explore how stakeholders across the region can work together to develop strategies to address local youth unemployment and underemployment issues. A taskforce of members will come together over the next year to explore how local businesses and community can become involved as partners and supporters of the work to help improve local youth skill development and employment in the region.

REAL INDUSTRY JOB INTERVIEW (RIJI) PILOT PROGRAMFor the first time on 16 October, Banyule Nillumbik LLEN in partnership with Banyule City Council coordinated the Banyule Real Industry Job Interview (RIJI) Pilot Program. RIJI is a career development program designed to give local secondary school students experience in preparing, planning and undertaking a mock interview. The pilot program aimed to support and prepare young people to build work-readiness skills including job search, resume development, cover letter writing and the opportunity to experience a mock interview with a local industry volunteer. Seven local secondary schools were engaged across the Banyule Nillumbik region including; Bundoora Secondary College, Viewbank, Secondary College, St. Helena Secondary College, Macleod secondary College, Montmorency Secondary College, Diamond Valley Secondary College and Eltham High. Being a pilot, this provided the opportunity for one hundred and eighty-six (186) Year 9 – Year 11 students to participate in the program. Twenty representatives from local industry, business and community volunteered their time to conduct the students interviews, providing them with on the spot feedback. Industry volunteers acknowledged the student's efforts and capacity

to give the program a go. One recommendation was for this program to continue so as to refine the standard of resumes, letters and interview techniques which varied on the day. The student evaluations indicate that their confidence has increased, as well as their ability to search for a job and plan for the application process. Students stated that the most valuable component of the program was the opportunity to practice their interview skills and receive feedback.

STRUCTURED WORKPLACE LEARNING (SWL)SWL is a state-wide initiative funded by the Department of Education (DET). The program facilitates SWL placements offered by employers to students that are studying VET in School aligned to specific industry areas of study. SWL offers students on the job training and exposure to the real-world of work, whilst host employers get to contribute to future employee skill development and knowledge.

Last year, highly valued and long term staff member, Monica Rigby left to work at the DET's central office. Alison Barton took on a greater role in the SWL team and a new team member Tiziana Gillon came on board mid-year. The team worked hard to continue the work of the SWL program including the development and strengthened relationship with schools and employers.

During 2018, one hundred and eleven students from the Banyule and Nillumbik LLEN schools participated in local opportunities, including students from varied backgrounds and with different learning needs. There were also 103 students from neighbouring regions who took up placements sourced by the SWL team. In addition, we assisted 36 of our local students to secure placement opportunities in neighbouring LLENs, across many different and varied industries. We are extremely grateful to all the host employers who have participated in the program this year.

INTERVIEWER COMMENTS:"It’s a super great initiative and so worthwhile.

There was a real buzz from the interviewers knowing that what we were doing was really life

changing for some young people""I thought it was a fantastic event! Well Done! Positive outcomes for both young people and

services" "Loved that all the student turned up prepared

and ready to go"

AUSTIN HOSPITALOur continuing partnership with Austin Health, supported 180 student placements last year. This long standing relationship includes work experience and structured workplace learning opportunities for students in senior secondary schools. 142 students undertook work experience placement at Austin Health across 20 different departments. 38 Structured Workplace Learning positions were provided to students across several departments, including the Kitchen Operations area first time this year. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Careers Week which has been a huge success in past years, did not have sufficient interest to run this year. Austin Health and BNLLEN are both committed to supporting learning outcomes for Indigenous students and this program will be offered again in 2019.

We extend our sincere thanks to Austin Health for these valuable opportunities for local students. The positive attitude and commitment by the dedicated supervisors and support staff has been integral to the success of this partnership.

WORKING COMMUNITYLast year the Working Community Program supported VCAL programs in two local secondary schools. This initiative provided students with personal development activities and engagement with community organisations to support youth led projects. The students led projects involved in a range of fun filled team building activities such as a trip out to Warrandyte and canoeing down the Yarra River followed by an obstacle course at Clifford Park, Wonga Park. Students received accredited training in Safe Food Handling and Responsible Service of Alcohol to develop their work ready skills as part of the program. Presentations by a range of community organisations throughout the year exposed students to local services who provide support to young people on a range of issues. There was a total of ten student-led projects involving eleven partner organisations for the year. One project, the Intergenerational Health and Wellness Project (partnered with Nillumbik Shire Council and HealthAbility) gave students the opportunity to spend time with local Nillumbik residents who shared stories, prepared and cooked meals together and included nutrition sessions delivered by HealthAbility to promote healthy eating and general wellbeing. Students published a cookbook and a video showcasing the project which was mapped against learning outcomes in their VCAL program. Nillumbik Shire Council nominated the project for the Local Government Professional (LGPRO) Aged and Disability Services Awards, in which we were one of nine finalists.

SCHOOL LEAVER'S GUIDE PARTNERSHIPIn 2018, BNLLEN together with Banyule Youth Services, E-Focus, Headspace and Nillumbik Youth Services formed a Working Party to revise the School Leavers Guide. This was done to ensure a comprehensive, accurate, relevant and up-to-date school leavers guide was developed and which reflected local community stakeholder input. This resource is produced to improve young people’s understanding about local provision, services and pathway options available to them. The Guides are distributed to young people in secondary schools and from other community and training settings at the end of the year.

BNLLEN 2018 EVENTS,NETWORKS & ACTIVITIES

BANYULE L2P LEARNER DRIVER MENTOR PROGRAM2018 marks 9 years since the start of the Banyule L2P Learner Driver Mentor Program. The Banyule L2P Program is funded by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), coordinated by VicRoads and delivered in partnership with Banyule City Council. The program supports 55 eligible, local young people aged between 16 – 21 years of age to accrue their mandatory 120 hours of driving to achieve their Probationary Licence.

The young people in the program face significant barriers to accessing a fully licenced adult driver who can support them with time, a motor vehicle and/ or the finances to independently accrue the required hours to achieve their licence. Fully screened and trained Volunteer Mentors provide one to one mentoring to a young person they are matched too, utilizing one of three program vehicles which are fully insured and registered. This year 21 Volunteer Mentors supported 90 Learner Drivers. 29 young people achieved their Probationary Licence in 2018.

The program continues to support a bi-monthly mentor meeting for the Volunteers to share information and learn from each other. This includes celebrating program achievements and undertaking professional development such as an update on the Victorian ‘Child Safe Standards’ and other topics as they arise. A supportive and committed local Driving School / Instructor attends the meetings to provide guidance and support on road rules and technical matters related to the driving.

We would like to thank the commitment, dedication and ongoing enthusiasm of the Volunteer Mentors who provide their time, efforts and passion to support local young people to accrue and achieve their Probationary Licence. We would also like to acknowledge and recognize the local schools, community agencies and other stakeholders for their referrals, Melbourne Polytechnic and Banyule City Council for their ongoing support of the program.

NORTHERN VICTORIAN CERTIFICATE OF APPLIED LEARNING (VCAL) NETWORK Senior secondary schools from the Northern Metropolitan region of Melbourne have continued to meet as the Northern VCAL Network in 2018. There are 65 member schools with a strong mix of experienced and new providers who came together 5 times in 2018. The network is collaborative in nature that directly contributes to improved quality of VCAL delivery in schools across the Northern Melbourne region. A combination of professional development and peer support activities are facilitated to ensure members gain useful strategies to incorporate back into their schools. LLEN and SWL representatives from the region have presented to schools their local areas at each meeting which has been a valuable local connection for the schools. BNLLEN facilitated these meetings, at Melbourne Polytechnic Greensborough, with the support of a planning team. The network is committed to continue meeting in 2019, with a greater emphasis on Personal Development Skill programs, Literacy & Numeracy changes as well as showcasing local community organisations to support the development of local partnerships.

BANYULE NILLUMBIK CAREERS GROUP (BNCG)The BNCG established in 2007 aimed to build the capacity of career practitioners in local secondary schools to support young people on their career journey. This year marked another successful and engaging year for the group with meetings held at a range of locations including Charles La Trobe College, Bundoora Secondary College, St Helena Secondary College, Macleod College, Eltham High School, Edendale Farm and La Trobe Melbourne. The meetings incorporate regular updates from tertiary institutions, the opportunity to participate in professional development activities and share best practice examples amongst peers. There have been more than 25 participants attending these meetings, with peak community organisations such as CEAV, VTAC and Private RTO’s presenting their support services and information throughout the year.

NORTHERN MELBOURNE VET CLUSTER (NMVC) BNLLEN has been a strong supporter and member of the Northern Melbourne VET Cluster. BNLLEN has participated in and provided value to the NMVC Coordinators Meetings, Advisory Committee, Skill Shortage sub-committee and Principal Network through advocacy for the principles on which the Cluster was established. This year over 1200 students travelled to host schools to undertake a VET in Schools program as part of the Cluster. Work by the BNLLEN continues to; support new host schools to deliver VET in Schools programs, encourage the increase of participation by Year 10 students, and support to the Cluster Coordinator.

NORTHERN SCHOOL BASED APPRENTICESHIP AND TRAINEESHIP (SBAT) NETWORKThe Northern SBAT Network met four times in 2018 with attendance and input from various local LLENs, SWL Programs, Schools, Registered Training Providers Organisations (RTO), Australian Apprenticeship Centres (AAC) and Group Training Organisations (GTO). The meetings provide an opportunity for cross sector organisations and schools to share knowledge, expertise and to discuss updates or current changes in relation to SBAT’s in Northern Schools. The network aims to promote local success stories and highlight pathway information for the members of the network to increase student pathways into SBAT’s as a stepping stone to employment. The McDonalds Training Centre in Collingwood has been hosting the meetings with over 30 representatives attending.

SBAT SAMPLE SESSIONSThe School Based Apprenticeship and Traineeship (SBAT) Sample Sessions (SSS) was facilitated on behalf of the Northern SBAT Network which had approximately 100 students from schools in the North Melbourne Region participate. The SBAT Sample Session event provides the opportunity for students to experience hands-on activities in selected key industry areas to learn about specific trades. The event is designed to promote SBAT awareness among young people in an enjoyable and engaging environment that assists in exploring future education, training and employment pathway options. Students attend four sessions based on their pre-selected preferences in their industry area of interest which are delivered by industry representatives, training organisations and local employers. The feedback by students and local partners has been positive and demonstrates the value students gain by participating in this event.

STORIES FROM MY LIFEStories from My Life is an intergenerational program that offers the opportunity for secondary school students to engage with local seniors from an aged care community organisation to share stories and learn about the lives of our aging community. The program is undertaken as part of the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) studies, supporting students to achieve VCAL outcomes in literacy, personal development and work related skills. On completion of the program students showcase and present the seniors story to their peers, and the members from the community agency.

In 2018 we facilitated the Stories from My Life program facilitated with five schools and local community agency programs including; Diamond Valley College and Diamond Creek Men’s Shed, Eltham High School with Eltham Senior Citizens, Montmorency Secondary College with Montmorency/Eltham RSL, Our Lady of Mercy College with Blue Cross Aged Care and Melbourne Polytechnic VCAL with Estia Health. Feedback from all participants overwhelmingly supports the positive impact this program has on learning outcomes for the students, connection for the senior adults in community and the value this cross generational experience has on the young people and all involved. In addition this year, the Nillumbik Shire Council and BNLLEN worked in partnership to develop the Nillumbik Stories from My Life book which highlighted some of the stories written by Diamond Valley College and Eltham High School VCAL students. The program was celebrated during Seniors Festival, bringing together the two schools who presented some of the stories at the launch event for the Nillumbik Shire: Stories from My Life Book.

#FINDTHEIRFEET This partnership is a community education initiative delivered by the LLEN’s across the North, Melbourne Polytechnic, Career Education Association of Victoria, La Trobe University, Northlink and Local Secondary Schools. Individual, local career events targeting parents and Year 8 to 10 students with information about the future of work in Melbourne’s north were delivered across the region. On 24 October BNLLEN held this interactive event at the Greensborough Tech School with over one hundred attendees. The campaign provided parents and students the opportunity to explore emerging industry growth areas and pathways to those opportunities.
