BGKLLEN aims to increase youth participation in skill-shortage industries by helping local businesses connect with secondary school students in the Bayside, Glen Eira, and Kingston regions. Their initiative, Gen Industry, focuses on solving challenges in various sectors, especially Manufacturing. Gen Industry promotes collaboration between industries, schools, and young people to enhance employment outcomes. BGKLLEN will develop and provide resources and events for schools, parents, and students to educate them about these industries, spark interest in potential careers, and connect them with proactive employers.
Gen Industry Manufacturing is facilitated by a Committee of Local Employers and together with BGKLLEN a suite of resources and events will be offered to schools, parents and young people throughout 2023-2025.
