Local Jobs for Local People – Youth program explores the barriers and challenges faced by youth in Brimbank and outlines the range of supports that young people are asking for and what Council can do to meet those needs.
Designed to help community and our partner organisations to help respond to the changing economy and jobs market, the program supports young people to build career and work paths by:
- responding to persistence of youth unemployment in Brimbank
- creating a framework to consider and respond to high youth unemployment
- recognising vulnerable groups and diversity
- recognising the need for partnerships, and
- defines Council’s role: Plan, Advocate, Partner, Lead, Inform and involve, Deliver.
Council is focused on creating better supports for young people experiencing barriers and on providing and promoting meaningful workplace experiences, promoting access to work experience and student placements.
