The BGK LLEN aims to broker (construct / coordinate) mutually beneficial and sustainable partnerships with four key stakeholder groups – 'education and training providers', 'parent and family members' (including carers), 'community groups' and 'business and industry'. We aim to work with our stakeholders to collaboratively improve local young people's education, training, employment and wellbeing outcomes.

Information about each of our stakeholder groups can be found via the navigation bar to the right. 

The types of initiatives we engage in with our stakeholders include establishing networks, identifying projects that a stakeholder can manage, identifying services needed in the region or sourcing resources needed for local projects and services, to name but a few.

While the BGK LLEN's funding contract with the Victorian Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) prohibits us from delivering any programs or services we do, from time to time, pilot a locally needed program or service. This means that we source the resources and/or fund the pilot initiative and take responsibility for any managed risks, delivery elements and/or evaluations. If deemed a success we then look to a stakeholder with appropriate experience or expertise to continue delivery and make it sustainable into the future.

Generally we don't work directly WITH young people aged 10 – 19 years. Instead we collaborate with our stakeholders to work FOR those young people.

We encourage you to read about our stakeholder categories in more detail. It will hopefully provide you with more information about each of them, and you may even feel that you fit into one of these and can identify a way that we might be able to assist or work with you!
