The Annual Calendar is now online - click on "Key Dates and Events" above to view

FMPLLEN in partnership with The Brotherhood of St Laurence and Skills Plus Ltd has received funding from the Commonwealth Department of Education Science and Training (now called the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations) to implement a Local Community Partnership, covering Mornington Peninsula and Frankston City.  The role of the Local Community Partnerships is to introduce the following three programs to all schools and training and community organisations across the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula Region.

The Structured Workplace Learning program (SWL) will focus on increasing access to and participation of students in structured work place learning as part of the Vocational Education and Training in Schools program.  The key aim is to enhance young people’s employability skills by assisting schools, Registered Training Organisations and other training providers to organise high quality structured work placements with local employers.

The Careers and Transitions Support Program (CTS) aims to assist young people to develop Individual Transitions Plans and help them to understand study and work options available to them.  It will assist them to find professional career advice and to explore vocational education and training pathways and opportunities.  The PLCP will also seek to work with parents, career professionals and employers to enhance their understanding of various career and work options.  

The Adopt a School Program (ASP) will bring schools and industry together so that students are better prepared for the world of work and so that they understand employers expectations of them.  Employers will also gain a better understanding of how schools work and how to recruit and retain young people in the workplace.  The ASP is focused around specific projects linking a specific industry or industry area to one or more schools.
