In the past two weeks, 374 Grade 5/6 students in our region have gone on 60 separate careers excursions as part of our Passions & Pathways program. Over 30 businesses opened their doors to inspire students with tours, conversations and hands-on activities. During their excursions just some examples included students:

• Stepping into the driver’s seat of big machinery at Delecca’s
• Operating the Monash University Rural Health School’s state of the art medical mannequins
• Touring ‘behind the scenes’ at the Bendigo Art Gallery
• Experimenting with brick laying techniques with Lansell Homes
• Watching robots at Hofmann Engineering
• Learning how olive oil is produced at Bridgeward Grove Estate
• Splitting 200 million year old stone with Yarrabee and Castlemaine Stone
• Watching corn be turned into corn chips at Sonora Foods
• Exploring how bowls and cups are created at Bendigo Pottery
• Investigating germs under blue light with Maryborough District Health Services.

The result has been students excited about their futures. Students who can link what they’re learning at school with the real world to motivate them in their schooling. Recent research across OECD countries shows careers experiences in primary school lead to better adult outcomes (higher employment, wages, satisfaction). That’s what Passion & Pathways hopes for every young person in our region.

A super fun day and a bunch of students excited about their futures!

Today students learned about skills in engineering, science and technology, health, manufacturing, education, trade, retail, horticulture, construction, horticulture, and the Arts, and whilst it was wet outside, nothing dampened their enthusiasm for learning or asking great questions!

Huge thanks to everyone involved.

We’d like to thank Kim Saddlier from Kangaroo Flat Primary School and Julie Rudner from La Trobe University for being a part of our amazing 'Principal for a Day' program.

We loved hearing all their stories and memories from the day as they engaged with student leaders, classrooms and staff.

It's wonderful to hear that Kim and Julie had a fantastic time sharing their experiences of the education sector, with talks of future collaborative opportunities.

We’re so excited to be welcoming aboard two new ‘Principal for a Day’ participants!

Next week, the principal of Kangaroo Flat Primary School, Kim Saddlier, is welcoming Julie Rudner, from La Trobe University for a day full of collaboration, networking and engagement with students and staff.

Two amazing leaders coming together in the Education sector to share their stories and experiences.

We’re super keen to see this collaboration take form, and can’t wait to hear all about what Julie and Kim get up to during the day.

Did you know that our Young Industry Ambassadors receive training in public speaking, leadership and engagement skills?

Not only are students being empowered, but our team of young YIAs as well.

We’re helping young people across an array of different industries feel supported and strongly connected into our team of YIAs. By doing so, we encourage their personal growth as young leaders.

Do you know a professional and inspiring young person who could pass on their skills to school-aged children?

➡️ Tag them in the comments!

One of the ways we inspire young people in schools about opportunities to flourish in the workspace is through our Young Industry Ambassador program.

Young Industry Ambassadors give young people aged 18-30 a platform to inspire school students about future industry opportunities by sharing their stories and pathways during and post-school.

YIA's present in front of classrooms and assemblies and even host experiences in their workplaces.

By opening up a space for young people to share their passions, a typical day at their workplace, what they enjoy about it and their lifestyle, we’re shaping a community of leaders that feel empowered in personal growth, mentoring, and networking.

Have you got someone in mind that would be perfect for this?

At the Goldfields LLEN, we are on a mission to improve education and employment outcomes for young people in the City of Greater Bendigo, Mount Alexander, and Central Goldfields shires, prioritising the vulnerable and at-risk. 🥰

As a registered charity, in partnership with government, education, industry and community, we empower young people to actively engage, transition and succeed in education and the world of work.

We might be new to Instagram, but we are not new to the sector! So please like and save this post to help us grow. 😁

Women in Trades GovHub hoarding in Bendigo was launched today! 🥰

Partners inc. HALT, Women's Health Loddon Mallee, City of Greater Bendigo and more.

These initiatives are so important – changing the gender bias mindset.

The team is prepping for the program kick off back into schools across the region.

First stop: Teacher PD next week!

We are so excited! 🤩

The world of work is getting increasingly more competitive for young people to enter. 😯

We know that many young people have put in hard work, handing in their resumes and trying their best to score a job interview. Even though there are so many jobs out there for young people right now, it can be difficult to link employment opportunities and people in need.

That’s where Goldfields LLEN comes in.

It's time to break down the walls and challenges of finding employment to set young people on the pathway they want to pursue.

The Goldfields LLEN offers industry experience to build solid networks in the workforce. We create everything from hands-on placements and work experience to school-based apprenticeships and traineeships.

In doing so, we remind young people that missing out on one job isn't what defines you. 👍

Goldfields LLEN builds the bridge between young people and the opportunities because everyone deserves a positive future.

The Youth are Taking Over! 😍

We’re celebrating the initiative shown by the young people involved in our Youth Take Over program.

The interns displayed their artworks and marketing campaign for Red Edge’s new wine Label at the Rood Henry’s Art Space in Heathcote. From the set design to the video projection, the crew did it all themselves.

It has been incredible to see the young people flourish under the guidance of Kira Hyde from The KH Studio.

Youth Take Over gives young people 17-25 the chance to upskill through facilitated work experience programs.

Goldfields LLEN is all about paving the way forward so young people can enter the labour market. The interns from the program are leaving with work-ready skills, references for their CV, and new professional networks.

What a fantastic night of hearing the amazing stories, memories and highlights from all our Principal for a Day participants on Tuesday evening. 👏

Our reflection dinner opened up a space filled with wonderful opportunities for industry and education system leaders to connect, share their experiences about the program and about their day-to-day roles within their workforce.

Through these connections, Goldfields LLEN aims to strengthen the relationship and understanding between schools and industry partners, with hopes for collaborations in the future.

Congratulations to everyone involved for making PFAD 2022 a success! 🙌

A round of applause to this year’s PFAD Team! 👏

We are so excited to bring you highlights from our last round of the 2022 participants!

👉 We’d like to thank Andrew Schaeche at White Hills Primary School and Kira Hyde from The KH Studio. It was fantastic to hear your highlights of supporting students at the Fun Run event and engaging in classroom activities.

👉 What a pleasure it was partnering with Danielle Derkson, principal of Eaglehawk Secondary School and Sue Mills from the Fosterville Gold Mine. How wonderful it was listening to Sue speak to a group of female students from the STEAM program about her journey into a mostly male dominated industry.

👉 And finally a big thank you to Travis Eddy from Kennington Primary School and Sonia Di Mezza from the Loddon Campaspe Multicultural Services. What an excellent day visiting all the special programs that are catered for the students.

We’re super excited to hear from Kate Mannix about her Principal for a Day experience! 😄

Sharing the day with Simon Wood, the principal of Crusoe College, Kate was very impressed with the breadth of programs and opportunities open to the students and how passionate the staff are in being student-focused.

We’d like to say a BIG thank you to Simon for welcoming her on board and sharing his knowledge and experience in being a leader within the education industry.

PFAD opens up amazing opportunities for principals and industry leaders to connect locally and collaborate in the future.

Thank you both Kate and Simon for your support in this year’s program! 🙌
