Partnerships and Information

Parents and families play a pivotal role in the education and development of young people.

The Capital City LLEN builds partnerships that enhance the capacity of parents and families to support young people to engage in education and training and make information decisions about their future.

Parents update: DEECD website.

The Capital City LLEN builds partnerships that enhance the capacity of parents and families to support young people by:

• Make links between learning and career aspirations
• Access supportive networks and services to help the young person in future career direction
• Support parents and family during transition stages of the young persons' life
• Be better informed about the diverse range of education, training and employment options available to the young person.
