Youth Commitment is an initiative which uses existing structures to build a seamless referral system between and within education and community agencies so that young people always have at least one point of connection, maximising their opportunity to complete an educational benchmark in order to produce better employment and social outcomes over the course of their life. Education and community agencies will consider how they work together to improve existing practice. Local leadership will identify service provision needs and work in partnership to deliver comprehensive education and training programs for all young people to Year 12 or its equivalent.
The Southern Youth Commitment (SYC) is led by a partnership group made up of representatives from the DEECD Southern Metropolitan Region, Inner Eastern LLEN, Bayside Glen Eira Kingston LLEN, South Eastern LLEN, Frankston Mornington Penninsula LLEN, Adult Community & Further Education Council and Holmesglen and Chisholm Institutes of TAFE.
