Brimbank’s first Youth Jobs Strategy (2018 – 2023) began the important work of creating a framework to consider and respond to persistent, high youth unemployment rates in the region. Building on this early work and adapting to change, the next iteration will align with Councils Local Jobs for Local People program and become a dedicated youth stream. This will empower young people to be part of a wide range of learning and employment opportunities that support their engagement and their future aspirations.
Local Jobs for Local People - Youth Stream is a guide for partners to work together to improve social and economic outcomes for young people, to build and strengthen the local economy and the community. The ideas and insights of local young people have shaped the approach to the strategy and they will lead this work.
