Hello, my name is Sharon Kerlin, and I have recently commenced in the new position of Partnership Broker with Central Ranges LLEN. 

My role is to work with key stakeholders in education, industry, community organisations and parents to broker partnerships that improve education, training and employment outcomes for young people aged 10-19.   

Having completed my undergraduate degree in Business Management, I was employed a Training Officer with YMCA Victoria where I was responsible for co-ordinating a range of accredited and non-accreditated training programs. 

After 2 and a half years with the YMCA I took up a position as an Australian Apprenticeships Field Consultant with VECCI Apprenticeship Services, where I was responsible for promoting traineeships and apprenticeships across a wide of industries in the North Western region of Melbourne.

At the end of 2007 I moved to London and was employed by CfBT Education, contracted to deliver the Connexions youth services contract across West London.  In this role I managed the Employer Engagement team, working with employers to identify and promote job vacancies for local young people. 

In 2009 I returned to Australia, and to my role as an Apprenticeship Field Consultant at VECCI. I also completed my Graduate Certificate in Careers Education & Development with RMIT.

This year I am looking forward to the challenges of a new role as well as the opportunity to contribute to the improvement of transition outcomes for young people.

Based in Central Ranges LLEN's new office in Kilmore, I can be contacted on the details below:
