The Goldfields Local Learning and Employment Network GLLEN in partnerships with other organisations have trained Young Industry Ambassadors (YIA) since 2010.
The GLLEN is committed to ongoing training of Young Industry Ambassadors, YIA, who present their own career pathways to younger students in upper primary and secondary schools. The diverse pathways these young employees have taken to success, demonstrates the value of remaining at school while sharing knowledge about the various pathways available to achieve career goals.
YIAs are usually between the ages of 20-30 years, so that school students can easily relate to them. Through the generosity of their employers, YIAs can visit schools or host students at their workplace, at no cost to schools or teachers to book a YIA. You can read their profiles and enquire on the email link at: www.gllen.org.au
