Macedon Ranges stakeholders REVAMP their Industry Engagement Strategy

Posted on by

In February 2013 the Macedon Ranges Employment and Training Network reviewed their strategic direction to collaboratively tackle the issues and opportunities for increasing education, employment and training for its residents.

The network has been renamed to reflect the important role that education plays in increasing these opportunities for the community as well as training and industry sectors.  The new title is the Macedon Ranges Education, Employment and Training Network (MR EE&T).

Taking advantage of the strategic direction of Macedon Ranges Shire Council, the network has identified key collaborative actions planned for 2013.  The objectives of the Network are to:

 

  • Identify issues, develop and implement collaborative solutions to address them

  • Facilitate the coordination between industry, training, community and community organisations around opportunities

  • Promote opportunities around EE&T for MR residents, business and industry

The final plan will be completed in May and enacted in 2013.  For more information go to our Education and Training networks page.

Regional Living Expo Logo copy

This is the second year that the State Government has funded rural and regional councils across Victoria to come together in Melbourne to promote the wonderful opportunities and lifestyle that areas such as Macedon Ranges have to offer as a place to live and work at the Regional Victorian Living Expo.

In 2012 there were a number of requests for information about local schools and what specialities they had to offer those thinking of moving to the area.

In conjunction with Macedon Ranges Shire Council the Central Ranges LLEN and local primary and secondary schools, developed a brochure detailing information about the area’s education options.

The 2013 Expo was a success with an increasing number of enquiries about education , employment and training opportunities  within the area.

There are plans for a more coordinated approach by educational, employment and training stakeholders to increase promote opportunities in 2014.

The Central Ranges LLEN would be happy to assist Mitchell, Murrindindi and Macedon Ranges Shires with their expo presentations on education and training in the future.
