From 2006 Australian Government Local Community Partnerships (LCPs) will be incorporated, not-for-profit, community-based and locally operated organisations contracted by the Department of Education, Science and Training to provide a strategic approach to the implementation of the following three LCP career and transition programmes:
- Structured Workplace Learning (SWL) Programme:
- Career and Transition Support (CTS) Programme; and
- Adopt a School Programme (ASP)
LCPs will facilitate the delivery of the three LCP career and transition programmes to all schools (across all Government, Catholic and other non-Government schooling sectors) for the benefit of all young people (aged 13-19) within their contracted LCP Service Region(s).
LCPs will partner with industry and employer groups, schools, professional career advisers, community organisations, parents, young people, youth service providers and other government and community organisations to assist all young people aged 13-19 years to gain the skills, experience and professional guidance to help them achieve a successful transition through school, and from school to further education, training and employment.
To achieve national coverage, 213 LCP Service Regions have been established. For information on these LCP Service Regions please follow the links below:
