Industry and Education
Awards Ceremony
“Young people – Our Responsibility”
“Young people actively participating in a dynamic, inclusive and productive West”
Western Youth Futures is a shared commitment by key stakeholders in the West (schools, universities, training providers, industry, youth services, local government, state and federal government departments, community organizations, police and youth health services) to improve the outcomes of all young people between 13 and 21 years of age. By working together we aim to ensure that no young person slips through the gaps, and that all young people have access to quality services, education, training and/or employment options.
The WYF regional partnership is led by the Western Region Local Learning & Employment Networks, the Western Local Community Partnership, and the Department of Education & Early Childhood Development among others.
It is an honor to celebrate the vocational achievements of our young people today.
Well done to all.
