Geelong Region Local Learning Employment Network We have always emphasised a lifelong approach to learning, and sustainable employment at any age. We adopt a whole of community approach to education, training and employment. Our aim is to bring together local leaders in education, training, business/industry, unions, volunteering organisations, indigenous groups and the wider community to tackle barriers to sustainable employment which are unique to our region. In achieving our goals, we have implemented many initiatives over the years …. encouraging community participation in tackling the ‘big issues’ in our region and working together to find and implement solutions; supporting and encouraging entrepreneurship; and working with our indigenous community.

We play less organised sport
We hang out less at the bar
We know and trust our neighbours less
We meet with friends less, and have less trusted friends
We socialise with the family less
