The key role of the BGK LLEN is to create, build and broker effective local partnerships that increase our young people's potential to make a successful passage through school and into ongoing education, training or employment. There are many opportunities for business and industry to get involved in current partnerships and projects.
The BGK LLEN team encourages anyone from the business and industry sector to contact us and discuss ways you can connect with our current work or identify new projects and partnerships you believe would be beneficial to the region.
The BGK LLEN facilitates, co-facilitates or is strongly connected to a range of business and industry partnerships and projects that aim to increase the potential of local young people (10 – 19 years) to make a successful passage through school and into ongoing education, training or employment. A list of key regional partnerships is provided below along with links to more detailed information about each:
Applied Learning Network
 The Applied Learning Network is jointly coordinated by the BGK LLEN and Youth Connect. This network aims to provide all those connected to applied learning with a chance to collaborate, engage in best practice, share resources and skills, and increase the applied learning opportunities available to local young people.
