Eligibility to be a Themed VCAL Provider
Partnerships
The development and maintenance of effective local community partnerships is a major feature of all VCAL learning programs. With the Themed VCAL, strong education partnerships and networks must be established between secondary education providers, TAFE Institutes, Adult and Community Education providers, employers, and/or other community or industry groups to support the learning program design and rationale. These partnerships will be locally managed and will consider curriculum and access needs including cross-sectoral delivery, cross-sectoral professional development and sharing of resources. This will ensure that the learning is relevant to the participating students’ vocational goals.
Applicants are advised to seek Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) support for their application. Discussion on the LLEN involvement in the Themed VCAL should be undertaken at the local level. Background information on the LLEN initiative is available from Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) (www.llen.vic.gov.au)
