1. Overview of Service Region
1.1 Overview of FMPLLEN
The Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network (FMPLLEN) Inc is a not for profit organisation of over 400 local individuals and organisations working together to improve outcomes for young people aged 10 to 19 years in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula region (referred to as the FMP Region). FMPLLEN works to improve the access of young people to education and training so that each young person has the optimum chance of completing Year 12, or its equivalent, giving them the best possible start for their working life. FMPLLEN has been in operation since 2001 as one of 31 LLENs in Victoria and is funded by the Victorian Department of Education and Training. FMPLLEN operates under the framework of, and as a key partner in, the Southern Youth Commitment.
2015 will see FMPLLEN operating under a funding agreement with the State Department of Education and Training, at a reduced rate. The priorities of the funding are business and school engagement, transitions and increasing opportunities for youth in education, training and employment.

1.3 Demographic Profile
This section outlines general demographics of the FMP Region for 2011 (based on 2011 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census data), with 2006 (or other) data as a comparison where available. Anticipated growth in population 2.7% per year. (Whalesong Services) The areas of Hastings and Rosebud West (located in the Mornington Peninsula Shire) and Frankston North (located in Frankston City) have been identified by FMPLLEN as experiencing a level of socio-economic disadvantage that requires the particular focus of the organisation. Where available, data has also been included for these areas to build local profiles.
Data relating specifically to the 10-19 year old cohort can be found in the Youth Profile (section 1.4).

The family occupation of students can be an indicator of socio-economic disadvantage. Student Family Occupation (SFO) categories ‘D’ (consisting of machine operators, hospitality staff, assistants, labourers and related workers) and ‘N’ (not employed) are considered the at-risk categories in relation to youth transitions.35 See Appendix 8 for Classifications. As demonstrated in the table below: Over one third (38.6%) of all families with students attending FMP Region government schools are from SFO groups D and N. This percentage has grown by 5.0% since 2007 and indicates that a large proportion of families are working in less skilled occupations and undertaking manual work (e.g. machine operators and labourers). The data shows that a notable percentage (13.3%) of parents are not employed (Group N); however, this includes stay at home parents as well as those who are unemployed. This has fallen from 14.0% in 2010. Overall, higher percentages of families in Groups D and N result in further Student Resource Package (SRP) funding for students attending schools in the FMP Region.

*Note: Statistics regarding the number of Indigenous students in schools varies considerably between sources. School records indicate significantly less Indigenous students in schools in the FMP region compared to DEECD (NOW DET) On Track data. This variation in figures could be indicative of reluctance, in this Region, of Indigenous students identifying in schools. Anecdotal evidence suggests many do not identify as Indigenous as there are perceived negative implications by doing so.

The 2011 Census reveals that there were 131 females aged between 15-19 years in the FMP Region who have at least one child (68 from Frankston City and 63 from the Mornington Peninsula). 45 46 (This compares with 91 from Frankston City; and 71 from the Mornington Peninsula in 2006). In the focus suburbs, six females aged between 15-19 years with one child resided in Frankston North; while there were 18 young mothers residing in Hastings and none in Rosebud West. 47 Interviews in 2011 with each community Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and Certificate in General Education for Adults (CGEA) provider in the FMP Region revealed that despite these figures: 48 One provider ran a young mums program in 2006. All community providers have had/currently have students who are pregnant. All providers reported that rarely do young mothers return to education post birth. All providers reported that, in general, young mothers would like to return but cannot, often because of childcare or transport issues. headspace is running a young parents’ program that began in 2012, Looking After Us – Mindful Parenting Group.
The Young Parents’ program Learn, Engage, Connect, piloted by FMPLLEN in partnership with Chisholm TAFE and funded by Anglicare, Communities for Children, is now coordinated by the Headspace Consortium in Frankston in partnership with Chisholm TAFE. Communities for Children fund this program until June 2015, with an opportunity to seek further funding. The program has developed tailored training and education to suit young parents and their children and also provides social welfare support and social connectedness for young parents and their children. In 2013, 16 young parents enrolled in this course and 12 successfully graduated, gaining their Certificate of Adult Education. In 2014, 18 young parents enrolled and 16 graduated with completed units of VCAL. The program is now an endorsed Promising Practice Profile Model.
1.4.4 Young People with Disability in FMP Region
The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with a Disability is a national initiative that counts the number of students who are provided with educational adjustments as a result of their disability. Data collected from 2013 and 2014 is not yet available. DEECD (NOW DET) data of schools in the Region that received Program for Students with a Disability funding in 2011 indicates that a total of 354 students aged 14-20 years attending schools in the Region received this funding. See Appendix 9 for school funding summary. Centrelink data indicates there were 314 young people aged 15-19 years obtaining the Disability Support Pension in the FMP Region in 2011. This had risen by 21.7% over the previous three years, representing an increase of 56 young people.

Additionally, in 2011, FMPLLEN gathered local data on the number of students with an identified disability in FMP schools who undertook the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE), Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL), Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETis) or School-based Apprenticeships and Traineeships (SBAT). Of the 92% of schools that responded, it was reported that 28 students undertook VCAL; 4 SBAT; 13 VETis; and 32 VCE.
Ticket to Work is a program that supports young people with a mild to moderate intellectual disability in senior secondary school to access SBAT or other suitable pathway. Ticket to Work matches students and employers for mutual benefit, with the full support of a broad network of disability, education, training and employment experts. Ticket to Work also provides the students with access to appropriate vocational training that is linked to their employment and industry area. The program ensures that students, parents and employers have all the support and guidance they need before, during and after their school-based traineeship experience. The Ticket to Work program is a partnership between FMPLLEN, schools and other organisations. In 2014, six students undertook work experience or paid work, hoping to transition into an SBAT in 2015. The FMPTTW network will also pilot a mentor program in 2015.
The term ‘disengaged’ refers to people who are neither employed nor participating in education or training. Often lacking basic qualifications, disengaged young people risk long term exclusion from the labour market, have fewer opportunities to participate in community life and are less likely to be able to access health care and education. They are also more likely to be homeless, experience addictions and mental health issues or be in juvenile detention. 49 2014 Youth Connections Brotherhood of St Laurence 213 young people referred to the service. These young people were referred on to reengagement in education and employment. 52 Indigenous youth people were part of the of the program.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 21
According to the stage one evaluation report (Overcoming Barriers to Education) of Peninsula Youth Connections (a partnership between the Brotherhood of St Laurence and Taskforce) a number of key barriers are faced by young people in the FMP Region when they commence the Peninsula Youth Connections program:
Peninsula Youth Connections - Clients’ Main Barriers to Engagement

The report also provides the following data from 2010: The rate of Year 12 attainment or its equivalent for 19 year olds was lower in Frankston (69.8%) and the Mornington Peninsula (77.2%) compared with Victoria (79.8%).
Only 12.6 per cent of Frankston adolescents ate the minimum recommended serves of fruit and vegetables each day (compared with 19% for Victoria). The proportion of Frankston adolescents who felt able to access dental services was lower than the proportion reported for Victoria (70.2% compared with 78.3%). Teenage pregnancy rates were higher in Frankston than in Victoria (16.4 compared with 10.6 per 1,000).
Psychiatric hospitalisations were higher in Frankston (9.3 per 1,000) and marginally higher on the Mornington Peninsula (6.9) compared with Victoria (6.7 per 1,000).
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 22 Community-based orders rates were higher among Frankston adolescents than in Victoria (2.3 compared with 1.5 per 1,000).
Child protection substantiation rates were considerably higher in Frankston and slightly higher in the Mornington Peninsula compared with Victoria (6.9, 4.8 and 4.4 per 1,000 respectively). Reported crime for 2009–2010 was higher in Frankston (89.6 offences reported per 1,000 people compared with 67.3 for Victoria).
1.6 Health and Mental Health Profile A young person’s physical and mental health can significantly influence their capacity to remain engaged in school. Young people who are regularly absent from school are at risk of missing out on critical stages of educational development and may experience long-term difficulties with their learning, resulting in fewer education and employment opportunities50. Disengaged young people are also at risk of experiencing higher than average levels of health related issues.51 The Victorian Mental Health Reform Strategy 2009–1952 highlights that 14.0% of children and young people aged 4-17 years are affected by mental illness. This rises to 26.0% for those aged 16-24 years. Around 75.0% of severe mental health problems emerge before the age of 25 years and account for 70.0% of the total burden of disease amongst young people. The Strategy also indicates that there is strong and growing evidence that early treatment of psychosis in young people produces improved outcomes such as increased engagement in work and reduced rates of suicide. Mental health service usage in state and private funded services for the 0-25 year age group is well below that which would be expected for the prevalence of mental health problems in this group. The FMP Population Health Atlas is a compilation of existing social, economic and health data about the Region compiled on behalf of the FMP PCP. 53 It identifies the key issues for children in Frankston City as being the high rates of child protection and the higher than the Victorian average of low-birth weight babies. The Australian Early Development Index (AEDI) measures how young children are developing in different communities. Frankston North, Frankston, Carrum Downs and Skye; and Hastings, Tootgarook, Somers and Somerville have higher numbers of developmentally vulnerable children in comparison to overall Australian figures. The FMP Population Health Atlas also demonstrates that the Frankston City has a lower proportion of affordable rental housing than MP, a higher proportion of families who are welfare dependent, and a higher percentage of lone parent families. Food insecurity is also higher across the catchment than for Victoria.

The majority of health and mental health services in the FMP Region are located in Frankston, with satellite and co-located services operating in the southern end of the Region. Whilst there is a diversity of social and welfare based support services provided in the community (e.g. by local government), anecdotal feedback from the MP Division of General Practice Mental Health Reference Group suggests a lack of continuity across and between these services. The supply of General Practitioners (GPs) in 2011 was average for Australia, with 0.92 per 1,000 population in Frankston and 1.04 per 1,000 population in MP. However, the geographic spread of the catchment and general practices suggests they may not always located in the areas of greatest need, and not located in areas where population growth is expected.
There are wide variances in the rates of private health insurance; 43.4% in Frankston to 52.5% in MP. The Victorian rate per 100 is 48.54

FMP Medicare Local The FMP Medicare Local, formed in January 2012, is a consortium of the Peninsula General Practice Network, Frankston Council and Mornington Peninsula Shire, FMP Primary Care Partnership (PCP), Monash University, Peninsula Health and the Royal District Nursing Service.55 Medicare Locals can coordinate and deliver important health services including after-hours GP services, immunisation, mental health support, and targeted and tailored services for those in need. Medicare Locals have flexibility to be innovative in how they respond to the needs of their communities.56
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 24 Service/ Factor Description
Hospitals The FMP Region is serviced by one hospital network, Peninsula Health, which has two sites, Frankston and Rosebud. Frankston Hospital has recently undergone an $81 million expansion, which includes a sizable increase to the emergency department, new wards and hospital beds.
Child and Adolescent mental Child and Adolescent Mental Health services are provided through a health Services satellite service by Southern Health (called Monash CAMHS) in Frankston.
GPs The Mornington Peninsula Division of General Practice (incorporating Frankston) has 306 GPs within its boundaries, representing 78 practices, of which 23 are solo practices. 40% of all FMP GPs are female. GPs are recognised as a future workforce shortage in the FMP region, with approximately 90 additional practitioners required over the next 20 years across the Frankston Mornington Peninsula region. 57
Programs in FMP Peninsula headspace, based in Frankston, is a health service for young people living in the Frankston and Mornington Peninsula, with outreach
offered at Shed 11 in Hastings and the YLounge in Rosebud. ( new youth Centre opening in Mornington) These have a number of other services co-located including Youth Drug and Alcohol Services, Peninsula Youth and Family Services, MIND, Peninsula Support Services and SkillsPlus. It also has a youth specific/friendly GP clinic and Bulk Billing Psychologists. FMP Primary Care Partnership Service System is a partnership of health and community service providers committed to strengthening the planning, coordination and delivery of services in the FMP Region.
Priority areas of concern 2011 Adolescent Health and Wellbeing indicators suggest the Frankston youth population has significantly higher than average levels of nearly all risk factors including substance use, anti-social behaviour and, mental health issues. Frankston also has higher rates of youth (15-24) disengagement from education and employment compared to the rest of Victoria (14.8% and 10.7% respectively). All these issues are priority areas of concern. Adolescents in the Mornington Peninsula rate more positively than those in Frankston according to the 2011 Health and Wellbeing Indicators; however substance abuse is a significant area of concern. 58 59

1.7 Homelessness, Transport and Access Issues
1.7.1 Homelessness
The most widely accepted definition of homelessness in Australia describes three kinds of homelessness:60 Primary homelessness – such as sleeping rough on the street or living in an improvised dwelling, e.g. squatting
Secondary homelessness – including staying with friends or relatives and with no other usual address, and people staying in specialist homelessness services Tertiary homelessness – including people living in boarding houses or caravan parks with no secure lease and no private facilities, both short and long-term.
Young homeless people are often unsafe in the family home; in conflict with family members; at risk of abuse and assault on the streets and in state care; and unable to earn enough income to access a reasonable level of housing. These problems are often exacerbated due to young people’s relatively low income earning capacity; their low level of power within society; unacceptably high rates of youth unemployment; and discrimination in accessing housing. The majority of homeless young people are only homeless for brief periods, while those who are chronically homeless (sometimes referred to as “street kids”) are a small minority.61 In Victoria, there were 2,283 young people aged 12-18 years that were homeless on Census night, 2011. This represents 10.0% of all homeless people in Victoria and is a rate of 48.2 homeless people per 10,000 young people. This is notably less than the Australian rate of 55.9 homeless people per 10,000 young people, but higher than the rate of all homeless people in Victoria (42.6 people per 10,000 total population).62
Homelessness has been highlighted as an increasing problem in the FMP Region. In 2009, the Department of Human Services (DHS) held a Regional Management Forum on Youth Homelessness in the SMR region to educate services, community agencies and the wider community on the following:
There are 1,222 homeless people in FMP (775 in Frankston, 447 in Mornington Peninsula). It is estimated that 20% of these people are 12-19 year olds. Frankston has the highest number of Primary Homeless people in the SMR.
330 FMP 15-19 year olds accessed youth homelessness services in 2008. Levels of youth homelessness in SMR are three times higher than the overall rate of homelessness across all age groups.
Only 51% of homeless youth in Victoria stay within the education system. Noting a rise in homelessness amongst young people, in late 2009 DEECD (NOW DET) released Supporting children, young people and their families affected by homelessness guidelines for all schools.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 26 1.7.2 Transport
In response to community concerns, the Mornington Peninsula Shire and Frankston City Council, with the support of the Department of Infrastructure, Vic Roads and the Department of Sustainability and Environment, commissioned a study to develop an integrated transport plan to meet the needs of FMP Region residents over the next 25 years.
The report highlighted a range of transport issues including: Significant gaps in public transport in the region. Current rail system capacity is limited and under pressure.
Regular road congestion occurring in northern sections of the region (i.e. Frankston). (However, since the opening of Peninsula Link in 2013 this has been largely resolved.) The impact of residential growth of 50,000 across FMP expected by 2031 (now anticipated to be over 60,000 – see Section 1.3)
Vulnerable communities that are characterised by low to medium income residents, high unemployment rates and isolation due to low car ownership.63
Due to the above issues and additional evidence that suggests transport is a real barrier to young people in the FMP Region accessing education and training programs, in 2012 Mornington Peninsula Shire successfully gained funding for the Education and Employment Access Pilot Project to deliver a bus service for MP students to travel to Frankston Chisholm TAFE, Monash Peninsula and Clayton campuses.64 Funding for this service ceases in June 2015, however the #savepenbus campaign will be launched prior to this date.
The Penbus route travels along the western side of the Mornington Peninsula, with stops in Rosebud, Dromana, Safety Beach, Mount Martha, Mornington, and Mount Eliza, Chisholm TAFE Frankston, Monash Peninsula Campus and Monash Clayton campus. There are three northbound services in the morning and three in the afternoon, two of which connect with the Monash University shuttle service to the Clayton campus. The Southbound service operates in reverse, again six trips per day. As yet unpublished user data65 indicates that the service is very well patronized, with on average 160 user trips per day or 800 per week. Students from the Mornington Peninsula Shire are the majority of users, with 53%; while students residing in Frankston City comprise 22%. The remainder of users are comprised of 12% from the City of Monash and 13% from other locations - Penbus brings students from Metro areas to the tertiary institutions in Frankston on the return runs.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 27
More than 40 different tertiary and training institutions are the destinations for students. The majority being:
Education Institution No. of students
Chisholm TAFE Frankston 39
Deakin University Burwood 7
Monash University Caulfield and Clayton 6
Monash University Clayton 272
Monash University Peninsula 152
Monash University Peninsula and Clayton 26
Mt Martha House 7
Mt Martha Community Centre 4
Melbourne University Southbank 2
John Monash Science School 6
Latrobe University Bundoora 2
These figures also demonstrate the considerable distance that some students travel to attend their preferred tertiary education provider. There have been 592 applications for the service made to date with 572 being active. Applicants not using the PenBus service have either finished their courses or moved away. While the majority of users (433) are in the 18-25 age bracket, a number of mature age students also use the service. In the age bracket 26-35, there are 66 users; 36-60 there are 51 users and 61-70, 4 users.
1.8 Communities of Interest within FMP Region
A number of FMP suburbs have been ranked in the top 10% of most disadvantaged suburbs in Victoria (as outlined in section 1.3). As a result, within the FMP Region there have been three State government- targeted areas for Community/ Neighbourhood Renewal - Frankston North, Rosebud West and Hastings. Community and Neighbourhood Renewal initiatives aim to support community participation for people living in disadvantaged communities. These initiatives brought together government, community organisations and local residents to set priorities and take action to revitalise the places where they live, work, learn and play.
Frankston North Community Renewal site The Community Renewal project began in Frankston North in April 2007 (located at the Mahogany Neighbourhood Centre) and was funded until June 2013. A Local Action Plan developed in 2010 identified the following priority areas for action and 28 subsequent projects were implemented:
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 28 Employment, Education and Training
Infrastructure and Open Spaces
Safety, Health and Wellbeing Community Participation
Identity and Image of The Pines.
In 2013, Frankston City Council built upon the Community Renewal initiative by undertaking a consultation process with the Frankston North community to identify priorities, establish a committee to work with Council and encourage community involvement. The Frankston North Local Community Plan outlines the community’s priorities:66 Curbing antisocial behaviour like hooning, monkey bike riding, vandalism, graffiti and drinking in public places Improving access to basic health care and raising awareness of health issues faced by the community Providing more opportunities for young people, including spaces to socialise and more activities
Improving the maintenance and up keep of public parks and gardens
Providing opportunities for the community to work together, promoting social inclusion and diversity across the ages
Raising the perception of the Pines – Frankston North.
Rosebud West Community Renewal site
Rosebud West Community Renewal was a partnership between residents, government and local organisations that delivered community outcomes over the six years including: Redevelopment of Vern Wright Reserve including a leash free area, BBQ and playground The new Seawinds Community Hub An annual Neighbour Day celebration.
Arts and cultural events
Increased membership to local groups including the Friends of Tootgarook Wetlands Finalist in the 2010 Tidy Towns competition
Parent engagement activities in early years services, primary and secondary schools.
The Rosebud West Action Group was established at the end of the Community Renewal process in June 2013. This group is building on the work of the original initiative and has prioritized:67 Ongoing community participation and decision-making
New job and learning opportunities Increased neighbourhood volunteering and other support Upgrade community facilities and open spaces Greater participation in cultural, recreational and sporting activities
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 29 Improved feelings of safety and wellbeing.
FMPLLEN and other partners are committed to continuing to work with the local community.
Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal site Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal has worked on and will continue to develop responses to:68 improve public housing and the environment
refurbish the community hub for neighbourhood activities revitalise local parks and open spaces
improve public safety and reduce crime local traffic management issues
new community enterprises better employment services and job opportunities
sustainable energy measures in low income homes
community cultural events and festivals health and wellbeing programs especially for young children.
Hastings Neighbourhood Renewal operates out of the Hastings Community Hub (the old Hastings Leisure Centre), 1973 Frankston-Flinders Road, Hastings. Following the cessation of State Government funding in 2013, the Hastings Alliance Group and sub committees have continued. FMPLLEN is a member of the strategic group and Chairs the Employment and Learning Group.
1.9 Activity Centres
Plan Melbourne is a State Government strategy that addresses sustainable growth, development and community need in Melbourne and surrounding regions. The Plan draws on the concept of a ‘polycentric’ city, an expanded central city surrounded by and linked to other major and regional centres of business, recreational and community activity distributed across the city. Also related to this concept is the idea of the ‘20 minute neighbourhood’ activity centre where people live close to the services they need. Local governments work with their communities to designate, plan and coordinate this development. 69 Major or local activity centres and precincts situated in each of the LGAs in the FMP Region are outlined below:
Frankston
Frankston is a major Metropolitan Activity Centre, delivering government, health, justice and education services. Frankston Hospital and Monash University (Frankston) are health and education precincts, and Frankston railway station is seen slated for urban renewal. Karingal is an activity centre.70
Mornington Peninsula The Mornington Peninsula Planning Statement71 accounts for the distinctive nature of MP and its significant role as a recreation and tourist destination, and the provision of high quality produce which underpins State primary output. Mornington and Rosebud72 are activity centres, while the Port of Hastings is a State-

This is a pilot model with small groups of students working with a teacher at the MP Shire’s Hastings and Rosebud Youth Centres. 2012 was earmarked for the opening of a new ‘Peninsula Style’ Oakwood campus in Frankston. Mission Australia, in partnership with DEECD (NOW DET), has commenced a trial three year pilot program for early school leavers (8-13 years) in Frankston North. The program will provide intensive case management to young people and, where possible, their families, with the aim of re-engaging students into school. Not being offered in future in this area.

Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 42 2.2 Challenges Facing Education and Training Providers
FMP education and training providers currently face a number of challenges. Many of these challenges are outlined in the report overcoming barriers to education (2011) by the Brotherhood of St Laurence. This report was produced following interviews with school and community professionals throughout the FMP Region.
2.2.1 Alternative and Community Education Sustainability
Community organisations, particularly in the FMP Region, are playing an increasingly important role in assisting students to reengage with learning, overcome barriers to participation and to achieve their goals. The FMP Region has a history of innovation in alternative learning models. This is evident by the number of research and evaluation projects that have focused or originated out of the region’s alternative education sector. These include: Deloittes (2012). The socio-economic benefits of investing in the prevention of early school leaving. Deloitte Access Economics Pty Ltd Myconos, G. (2011). A path to re-engagement. Evaluating the first year of a Community VCAL education program for young people. Fitzroy (Vic): Brotherhood of St Laurence Bond, S. (2011). Overcoming barriers to education: Peninsula Youth Connections evaluation stage 1. Brotherhood of St Laurence, Fitzroy
Bond, S (2010). Integrated service delivery for young people: a literature review. Brotherhood of St Laurence, Fitzroy
Zyngier, D. and Gale, T. (2003). Non-traditional and non-systemic educational programs in Frankston Mornington Peninsula Secondary Schools. Melbourne: Faculty of Education, Monash University.
The benefit of community education is highlighted in the new Deloitte Access Economics report on the Hands on Learning program. This program is Frankston based and, over 13 years, 3,082 students have participated in the program. The report estimates that during its 13 years of operation the program has contributed $1.6 billion in ''workforce outcomes alone'' through preventing students from leaving school prematurely.88 Despite this these programs, like their client group, are on the margin. Alternative learning is at the whim of government policy with uncertain and often inadequate funding and there is no systematic support.
There are ongoing changes in VCAL, Foundation Funding, and TAFE, apprenticeship and employer funding which may impact the provision of courses both within schools and non-school settings. FMPLLEN and providers are working to ensure these courses continue to be delivered.
2.2.2 Educating the community, Parents and Young people
Challenges exist in being able to effectively educate the community, parents and young people in the following key areas: The importance of completing Year 12 or its equivalent. The workforce is increasingly competitive and employers are demanding higher qualifications.
Frankston/Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network Inc. – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 43 The changing landscape of trades, largely due to skills shortages. Many trades are now well paid occupations that require high levels of training and qualifications. This is in contrast to the perception of general trades in recent years and has implications for targeted population groups (e.g. culturally and linguistically diverse families) who perceive non business-like occupations that require hands-on work as less desirable (e.g. in comparison to white collar occupations that require tertiary qualifications). The relevance of gaining work experience whilst completing secondary studies in order to build work readiness and employability skills. The availability of multiple pathways within education provision (e.g. school based apprenticeships and traineeships, VETiS subjects, VCAL, VCE and combinations of these programs) and the need for young people, parents and families to be proactive in pursuing alternative pathways that are appropriate to the needs of young people.
2.2.3 Unmet Needs
Unmet needs can act as barriers to young people’s engagement in learning. Critical barriers identified include a lack of personal support, family stability or a sense of belonging to the broader community; low access to material resources due to neighbourhood and family disadvantage; unmet health needs and a lack of decent, affordable housing. 89
2.2.4 Special Needs
A major challenge for education and training providers is to establish procedures that enable staff to first identify and then respond to undiagnosed special needs in young people (poor nutrition, substance abuse, reading or speech difficulties, behavioural problems, etc.). Professional development becomes a high priority, particularly in those areas concerned with responding to special needs and circumstances.90
2.2.5 Refocusing Vocational Training in Victoria
In August 2013, Victorian funding arrangements for foundation skills courses changed following allegations of rorts of training subsidies. Reports alleged that TAFEs and private colleges were boosting their revenue by up to $4000 per student, by enrolling existing students in extra foundation skills units that they often did not need. Following a review of the situation, Registered Training Organisations now have to apply to become an Approved Provider. Applications are assessed by an independent, expert evaluation process to determine suitability. The Victorian Skills Gateway maintains the list of Registered Training Organisations and it is subject to ongoing updating. 91 Between 2013-2014, the State Government reduced funding to VET and targeted it to skill shortage areas, with a greater focus on user pays. Young people in the FMP Region are large users of VET compared to state averages, particularly young people at risk of disengaging. Evidence shows that these young people are often attached to engagement courses rather than courses focused on a skill shortage area. Secondary schools VETis program were effected, with 80 per cent of state secondary schools reducing the number of vocational subjects they offer due to TAFE funding cuts, according to a study conducted by the Victorian Association of State Secondary Principals.92
Chisholm TAFE, the only TAFE provider in the FMP Region, reported their funding was cut by at least $25.5m following funding changes in 2012. According to a report commissioned by South East Melbourne
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 44 Councils in 2013, TAFEs have traditionally provided support structures for the most disadvantaged in learning: those with low literacy, single parents, disability, behavioural disturbances, new migrants and refugees, and those returning to work after a long absence. Economic modelling indicates that as the pool of unqualified people increases in the FMP region, lower productivity and lower incomes for all residents will occur. As early intervention is not as socially and economically effective as prevention, the cost of redressing disadvantage will also increase. General reform of the VET system is needed. Policies, funding systems and administration is highly complex, and students and parents need guidance to understand best options and negotiate the system.93 In late 2014, the State Labor government pledged $25 million to build a new Higher Education and Student Hub at Chisholm’s Frankston campus.94
At a national level, the Senate’s Education and Employment References Committee held an inquiry into TAFE in 2014. The inquiry probed issues including funding, affordability, accessibility, and linkages to secondary and higher education. 95
The report made the following Recommendations: 1 - 2.18 The committee recommends that the Commonwealth work with its COAG partners on the National Partnership Agreement on Skills Reform to ensure that all States and Territories provide clear statements of policy direction on the role of TAFE in consultation with vulnerable industries. 2 - 3.8 The committee recommends the Commonwealth government work with its COAG partners to develop a partnership agreement establishing a minimum and adequate level of support for people with disabilities. 3 - 4.21 The committee recommends that resources and funding for the Australian Skills Qualification Authority be proportionally increased relative to the number of private providers entering the training market. 4 - 4.22 The Committee recommends the development of improved government standards for registration of training organisations, as the current regulatory environment provides no guarantee of quality for students. 5 - 4.32 The committee recommends that COAG work towards establishing a formula for use in contestable funding decisions that reflects the true costs of TAFE delivering those services, and establishing a 'managed market'. 6 - 4.33 The Committee recommends that COAG work collaboratively to develop a national workforce strategy for TAFE that addresses the level and quality of teaching qualifications in the sector, the unacceptably high rates of casual employment, and the allocation of adequate resources to enable TAFE teachers and institutions to develop and maintain close liaison with industry and local communities to assist them to meet their vocational and technical education needs.
7 - 4.48 In light of the substantial increases in fees across the board, the committee recommends that COAG investigate these fee increases. 8 - 4.49 Further the committee recommends that criteria for access to assistance programs for fees be examined to ensure that access to VET training is not inhibited by upfront cost considerations. 9 - 4.50 The committee recommends that the VET FEE-HELP Loan Fee of 20 per cent be reduced significantly in line with comparable financial industry products.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 45 10 - 4.51 The Committee recommends full and immediate reinstatement of TAFE funding cuts by State Governments.
2.2.6 Focus on Transition Points
Key transition points provide challenges for education and training providers. There is a need to make key transitions smoother and more successful by working collaboratively and implementing best practice strategies. Of particular importance is transition from: Primary to secondary school Year 10 to VCE/VCAL or community settings (e.g. CGEA/ CVCAL) Secondary school or alternative education settings to sustainable employment
Secondary school or alternative education settings to TAFE/ University.
Research conducted by the Victorian Council of Social Services (VCOSS) and the Youth Affairs Council of Victoria (YACVic) identified, among other points, that there is a critical gap in policies and services for ‘middle years’ children aged 8 to 12 years, which means they are often unsupported at this critical time, including the transition from primary to secondary school.96 Transition areas focussed on in school settings are not funded post 2014 by the Commonwealth government, and are now seen as the responsibility of State Government. Funding for the National Partnership Agreement on Youth Attainment and Transitions Partnership between State and Federal was extended to the end of 2014. Youth Connections funding ceased altogether in 2014.
2.2.7 Higher Education: access, participation and success of students from disadvantaged backgrounds
The Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP) introduced by the Commonwealth Government, requires Universities to implement a range of strategies to engage students from low socio economic status backgrounds and increase enrolments for this cohort of young people.97 However, funding of the Participation component of HEPPP has been cut by $68.2 million over four years commencing 1 January 2013. Although it is expected that HEPPP will continue beyond 2017. As a result, the average annual funding rate per student has fallen from $1,800 to $1,400 in 2012. The FMP Region recognises that there are a large proportion of local young people with low education aspirations, particularly with regard to applying for tertiary places. This issue is identifiable in primary school age students and presents a substantial challenge to education and training providers. In addition, deferral of university places is significant, and the ultimate take up of deferred places requires investigation. Statistics: In 2014, 40.6% of 2013 Year 12 Completers were attending university (compared with 54.3% across Victoria). This is a decrease from 41.8% in 2012. Student deferral rates from the FMP Region continue to be high, with approximately 12% deferral rates for Year 12 completers in 2013 compared with 9% across Victoria. 98
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 46 2.2.8 Systemic Barriers
Research has identified that a number of systemic barriers impede young people’s education. School and community professionals that participated in the Brotherhood of St Laurence study of student disengagement in the FMP Region had clear ideas about what needed to change; and the research illustrated the positive steps taken by some schools. They described how some disengagement occurred as a consequence of the different learning environments of primary and secondary school. Interviewees also described the excessive requirement to conform; schools’ limited flexibility in catering for students who have caring responsibilities, health difficulties or different needs; and the undersupply of wellbeing support. Other barriers included a curriculum-centred approach, a bias towards academic pathways and limited access to genuine vocational pathways. Further barriers included narrow views of how to engage students in learning; students’ limited access to effective re-engagement and alternative programs; the negative impact of school ranking systems; and non-adherence to exit procedures.99
2.3 Student Mentoring
The use of mentoring to support student outcomes has had a limited focus in the FMP Region. Many of the well-known mentoring initiatives have focused on ‘at risk’ and disadvantaged youth and providing these young people with supportive relationships, recreation opportunities, positive role models etc. These kinds of mentoring programs have previously been delivered by organisations such as Menzies and Local Government Youth Resource Centres, which run group development/mentoring programs. YMCA is delivering a youth mentoring program in the Rosebud region. School mentoring programs tend to exist in isolation resulting in limited opportunities to relay feedback to school professionals. To date, there has not been a strong focus on mentoring in the wider community, however there is a demonstrated need to link students with professional mentoring around career development and education and training pathways. There is great potential to strengthen links with industry through mentoring programs, for example, by training young local government professionals to participate in community mentoring programs. However, it is acknowledged that mentor programs require large investments of time, training and resources and this has been a barrier for local government pursuing mentoring programs in the past.
The FMP Region has commenced the process of linking with large reputable mentoring organisations such as the National Youth Mentoring Network and the Victorian Youth Mentoring Alliance. Try Mentoring has a program in place at McClelland College and will start a program in 2015 for Ticket to Work participants. Ticket to Work encompasses 5 secondary schools.

2.5.1 School Career Development Activities
A discussion paper developed by DEECD (NOW DET) and the Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development (DIIRD) stated that “…research has shown that the provision of career development services to young people in Victoria is better than in other Australian States and that there are many examples of good practice, but the quality of these services is uneven. Participation in career guidance activities is almost universal for senior students. However, the range of careers services provided to students in Years 7–9 is more limited, and affects early school leavers disproportionally.101
This is found in the FMP Region, with a great variation between the range of activities that schools offer their students around career development and transitions, often focusing on Year 10 to 12. It is important to note that at 11–14 years of age young people tend to shift to “more realistic ambitions”102 and that by end of Year 9, students’ future pathways are often well entrenched, particularly if the pathway is to higher education. The extent to which careers coordinators are able to deliver a comprehensive and engaging program to multiple year levels is restricted by the importance placed on careers/transitions within the individual school. The services in a school are likely to be better where there is a dedicated full-time person and/or one who is a leading teacher and has influence on planning and curriculum. This is an ongoing issue of debate and concern for the schools in the FMP Region and is regularly discussed through association networks. In 2011, DEECD (NOW DET) rolled out the Careers Curriculum Framework. The Framework aims to support the work of teachers, trainers and careers practitioners in the preparation of young people to make a successful transition into further education, training and employment. The Framework is designed to integrate career education into the existing curriculum. A dedicated Regional Career Development Officer has been allocated to the Southern Region to encourage the implementation of the Framework in schools, and briefings on the Framework were held for school principals. A briefing on the Framework was held in this area in mid-2011 for careers teachers, curriculum leaders and principals, with a view to ensuring that the program was embedded as much as possible in each school’s curriculum. In schools where Careers Coordinators and Transitions Workers have a sufficient time allowance and/or influence within the school, the nature and quality of career development activities is comprehensive and impressive, with some or all of the following examples of activities occurring: Industry visits Attendance at general Career Expos
Attendance at targeted forums One-on-one career counselling for students other than Year 10s and 12s (considered to be the two year levels where one-on-one counselling is essential) Well integrated Managed Individual Pathways (MIPS) processes embedded in the school curriculum
Work experience programs that offer pre-placement workshops and inductions Mentoring programs Administering career exploration tools
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 49 Parent workshops
Senior School Expos Course Counselling information nights for each year level (including information on SBAT and VET)
Programs based in industry (e.g. the MindShop two week work experience program) Guest speakers
VTAC information evenings.
The National career development strategy (NCDS) research project (2011)103 Career development services and information are normally provided to all students in year 9 or 10, regardless of their need or interest in the subject matter. With further assistance provided in years 11 and 12 as students confirm their post schooling pathways. There is a need to ensure that services are available to students when they become interested in careers, and that these services are better tailored to the specific needs of different cohorts. It is important to note that the biggest gap in the provision of career development is for young people who are no longer in education. Most young people not in education do not know where to go for career information and guidance, and those that do know where to go report that the support they receive is not satisfactory. 104 Through FMPLLEN, other organisations such as Workplace Learning Coordinator program and schools activities also include: Parents as Career and Transition supports (PACTS) Lasting Gifts
Workshops
Career Education programs aligned with curriculum benchmarking Group counselling sessions
Group work Employer liaison
Mediation sessions DEECD (NOW DET) released two policy frameworks to support career development in early 2014:
Engaging Parents in Career Conversation (EPICC): For Parents to support their child career planning.
Strengthening Pathway Planning: For students with disability.
FMPLLEN have also created an on-line resource transitioning a Student with a Disability, which aligns with and encourages the use of the DEECD (NOW DET) Careers Curriculum Framework.

Chisholm Institute of Chisholm offers a range of career related activities. The Try a Trade sessions TAFE which began in 2008 and are on offer to all schools were very successful and in high demand. In 2014 these were substituted by a Try a Trade day held at the Chisholm Rosebud campus. A new program of Circle Tasters are planned to be held in the newly completed START Trade Training Centre. The Marketing Department also arranges visits and talks for prospective students.
Mornington Peninsula This annual expo has been running for many years and is conducted by Shire Careers and Jobs Mornington Peninsula Shire in partnership with a range of other local Expo organisations. The Expo is a well-known, popular annual event in the region with many FMP schools attending open days each year. Over 1000 students visit the Expo annually to explore a range of training, education and career opportunities, with approximately 60 exhibitors in attendance. Following a review by the FMPLLEN with all stakeholders, the event will now be held in partnership with Frankston City Council incorporating the Industry Careers Expo and Health and Wellbeing Showcase, at an earlier time of the year (May) to support student’s and parent’s decision-making about subject streams and career opportunities.
Industry Careers Expos In 2015 this event will be incorporated into the MPS and FCC Careers and Jobs Expo.

2.6 Provision of Services: Strengths and Gaps/ Weaknesses
Strengths Local Government is committed to supporting education and training provision within the region and growing local employment.
The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (NOW DET) has recently strengthened policies and procedures around educational provider requirements to monitor and track their students closely. Schools are now required to tighten processes around exiting students and monitoring students enrolled at the school as well as those who attend alternative education settings such as Community VCAL. The FMP Region has a range of strong, active associations, committees and networks. This has resulted in enhanced communication between education and service providers and a strengthened coordinated approach to working with young people. Collaborative partnerships are a strength of the Region, including the willingness of agencies to support one another’s work and share ideas, resources etc. The FMP Region is recognised by multiple government departments as needing substantial support. This has resulted in increased funding for services and greater access for young people. There has been some growth in tertiary offerings including through the program ‘Deakin at Your Doorstep’. Discussions have commenced with a range of other tertiary organisations to also promote flexible solutions for FMP students wishing to transition into tertiary education. Gaps/ Weaknesses
Education and training providers are predominantly located in Frankston and, as such, are often less accessible to young people living in the Mornington Peninsula area, particularly the Southern Peninsula region. There is one university and one TAFE provider based within the region and offerings at these campuses are quite limited relative to other metropolitan campuses. Students have to travel further to access a wide range of courses. The Mornington Peninsula is semi-rural but classed as metropolitan. This has implications for students who apply for university places and are required to move out of home to attend university and are not provided with extra assistance (e.g. funding).
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 52 The Mornington Peninsula experiences ongoing transport issues, particularly for the Southern Peninsula (refer to section 1.7.3). Engagement with small business can be problematic for schools and training providers.

3. Business and Industry Profile
3.1 Key Industry Sectors
There have been profound changes nationally in key industry sectors between 2006-2011, representing the continuing shift from primary and secondary industries to the service industry sector and the services provided to an ageing population. The largest increase has been in Health Care and Social Assistance, which nationally employs 11.6% of all workers. This has risen by 211,000 between 2006 and 2011, more than 100,000 higher than the Retail Trade, which was the largest in 2006. Manufacturing continued to slide between 2006-11, losing another 50,000 workers to employ 9.0% of the workforce. This trend has existed for some time and is related to larger structural shifts in the economy.105 For the FMP Region, the Health Care and Social Assistance sector has also grown, although manufacturing still remains the largest industry, followed by Retail Trade. The tables below indicate the industry sectors in which residents of the region are employed (which may be within the residing region or elsewhere) with changes between 2006 and 2011 also demonstrated.

3.2 Emerging Industries
Frankston has been designated a Central Activity District for greater Melbourne, but at this time commitment by State Government to the development of Frankston is still at the discussion stage. As one of six Central Activity Districts (CADs), Frankston is expected to become a centre of commercial, retail, specialized personal, entertainment, government and tourism activities and to accommodate high job numbers and mixed use living and working environments. Mornington Peninsula Shire is strongly supportive of this proposal given the benefits that will flow to the surrounding area. Currently Frankston has by far the lowest access to employment of all CADs and these economic strategies aim to improve and expand employment opportunities. In addition to the growing retail, health and wellbeing and manufacturing sectors, Frankston City Council aims to attract smart manufacturing and green industries for Frankston to become a hub for providers of environmentally friendly products and services. Efficiency programs for industry to cut greenhouse emissions, reduce waste and become more resource efficient are underway. The relocation of South East
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 58 Water will bring an additional 700 workers to the local workforce, with the potential to generate a further 446 jobs through increased local consumption. Emerging Industries, FMP Region
Frankston
East Link It is understood that East Link attracts distribution and transport operators and other businesses to the Region because of its linkages and direct access to Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. The Frankston City Council Economic Strategy Action Plan111 discusses how the opening of Eastlink means that Carrum Downs is now perfectly positioned to grow and strengthen its role as a high quality light industry employment precinct.
Peninsula Link A comprehensive report titled Frankston Bypass Economic Impact Assessment (Frankston (2008)112 predicts the Peninsula Link will have a positive effect on the local and Bypass) regional economy such as increased short term construction employment (an average of 1,690 full time equivalent jobs per annum during the 2.5 year construction period). The report also notes that changes in travel time may change the investment potential for particular industries in the region (e.g. tourism, freight and urban-development). The Peninsula Link opened in January 2013.
Mornington Peninsula
The Port of The Port of Hastings is a working commercial port which serves major Hastings international and domestic shipping movements that include import and export of oil, LPG, ULP and steel. It currently has approximately 200 vessels visiting each year and is proposed for a major redevelopment and expansion to turn it into a complementary container port to the Port of Melbourne. In December 2011 the State Government announced board members for the new Port of Hastings Development Authority (PoHDA). The new PoHDA took control of the Port of Hastings on 1 January 2012 with the port expected to become an operating container terminal in 10 to 15 years.
The expansion plans are expected to continue, despite Bluescope Steel reducing its operations in late 2012.113 In January 2013, further job cuts were announced at Bluescope Steel, with 170 jobs cut from its Western Port Steel Mill at Hastings.114
In April 2013 the State Government committed $110 million to progress planning for the expansion, allowing for staged planning over the next four years.115
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 59 Mornington Peninsula
Aged Care Given the Shire’s ageing population (28.6% of the population were aged 60+ years Services in 2011, up from 26% in 2006), the provision of services relating to positive ageing is expected to be a growth investment area in relation to infrastructure and facilities, and also opportunities for employment. The local Health Care and Social Assistance sector grew by over 1,228 jobs in the 2006 to 2011 period116, following a similar increase between 2001 and 2006.117 The redevelopment of the retirement facility Village Glen is expected to create many new opportunities in the southern end of the peninsula. FMPLLEN has been working with Village Glen and an associate facility Ti-Tree Lodge in Mornington to examine workforce planning and possible future developments. In 2014 several school based trainees commenced work at the Mornington facility and are successfully partnering with schools to continue to provide further opportunities.
3.3 Challenges Facing Business and Industry/Skills Shortages
The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI) believes that solving skills shortages will not be easy. Research conducted through ACCI-coordinated projects identifies a number of common elements that contribute to skills shortages and consequently affect the numbers of young people engaged in training or employment within skill shortage areas. The ACCI highlights that:118 Many young people and their parents have out-dated perceptions of some industries that do not encourage school leavers to seriously consider a career in those industries and these perceptions are not always accurately addressed by the career counselling services available to them. The complex and complicated structures of, and information about, the VET system and the New Apprenticeships program discourage employers from engagement.
The different career expectations of recent generations compared to those of previous generations means they do not necessarily expect to remain in the one occupation or with the same employer for extended periods of time. Consequently, employers may be reluctant to invest in training when there is a realistic possibility that the employee will not remain with them long enough to achieve a return on their investment in the training.
Another issue identified is the strong link between economic productivity and performance and the proportion of the population with higher level skills and knowledge, especially literacy and numeracy skills. Research shows that: Relatively high proportions of working age Australians have literacy and numeracy skills below the minimum level considered to be required to meet the complex demands of work and life in modern economies (43.5% for literacy and 49.8% for numeracy).119
International research shows that lifting a country’s literacy scores by one percentage point (relative to the international average) is associated with a rise of 1.5% in per capita gross domestic product.120 ACCI has stated that low levels of functional literacy and numeracy can serve as a barrier to business growth.121
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 60 Skilled jobs will dominate job growth as Victoria moves to a more knowledge‐based economy. Modelling of industry demand for qualifications has indicated a need for increasing proportions of the population to possess higher level VET and higher education qualifications.122 Frankston City
Frankston City Council’s Economic Development Unit has gathered anecdotal evidence, from ongoing consultation with local businesses, that a major difficulty for industrial and commercial businesses is the reliability of employees. The main problems involve candidates not turning up for interviews (irrespective of whether they respond to an advert or are referred by an agency), as well as newly appointed staff either not turning up for work or leaving without notice within a few days or weeks of commencing. It is unknown as to whether these new employees have taken up other positions. Even when employers are willing to provide training, tools and clothing, there appears to be an entrenched unwillingness on the part of many people to commence or continue work and this is very problematic for local businesses.
Mornington Peninsula As identified in the MPS 2009-2014 Economic Sustainability Strategy (ESS), there is a need to pursue opportunities for ongoing investment in the agriculture sector including the wine industry, aquaculture and equine. The report identifies the need to further develop the horticulture industry, which presents significant opportunities (broad acre and hydroponic). The recent Agricultural Audit estimates the value of agricultural product of approximately $450 million. A recommendation of the ESS is to work on further developing the tourism industry with a focus on visitors experiencing local produce. Finally, the ESS reports there are significant difficulties in accessing an adequate workforce (locally) and this issue will need to be addressed for growth opportunities in the sector to be realised.
The report outlines that there are approximately 57,000 people who reside in the Shire who are employed and over 21,000 people travel outside of the MPS region for work, with 70% travelling to work by car (as a driver or passenger). The ESS identifies that it “would be desirable for economic (i.e. more investment), social (i.e. improved work/life balance) and environmental (i.e. less car related travel time) reasons to provide more local work opportunities and thereby reduce the number of people who have to travel outside the Mornington Peninsula for work.”123 Employment Vulnerability Index124 The Centre of Full Employment and Equity (University of Newcastle) in conjunction with the Urban Research Program (Griffith University) have developed the Employment Vulnerability Index (EVI) for suburbs across Australia. The Employment Vulnerability Index indicates those suburbs that have higher proportions of the types of jobs thought to be most at risk in the current economic climate. Each suburb in Australia has been graded as either: high risk, medium high risk, medium low risk or low risk. Frankston City has several suburbs in the high risk and medium high risk categories. Mornington Peninsula has a number of suburbs in the medium high risk category but currently no suburbs in the high risk category, although in the last index (in 2009), there were four suburbs in this category (Baxter, Crib Point, Hastings and Somerville).

3.4 Level of Industry Support for Education and Transition Outcomes of Young People
Frankston
Consultation with the Economic Development Unit at Frankston City Council revealed local industry support for young people is quite well established. Businesses provide a mixture of on-the-job and formal training and many repeatedly host work experience students. Local and national businesses are constantly looking to recruit suitable trainees and apprentices. Frankston City Council hosts work experience and MindShop Excellence programs and partners with the Mornington Peninsula Shire to provide the FMP Careers and Jobs Expo.
Mornington Peninsula
Mornington Peninsula Shire hosts a number of initiatives to support young people's transition into the workforce. These include the Wal Morrison Traineeships that provide young people with 12 months of employment experience in a range of department areas within the Shire. The Mornington Peninsula Tourism Traineeship Program is a school based traineeship program for local secondary students who have an interest in pursuing a career in tourism, particularly within the FMP region. The FMP Careers and Jobs Expo is also conducted by the Shire to promote a range of training, education and career opportunities for young people and is well supported by local businesses. The Shire hosts a number of work experience students and work placements each year.

International and national research has demonstrated that parents are one of the most commonly consulted and influential sources of career information and advice sought by young people, even ahead of career teachers or advisers.125 126 127 It has been suggested that “without parental approval or support, students and young adults are often reluctant to pursue—or even explore—diverse career possibilities.”128 This has implications for the community and young people when considering the demographic profile of focus areas.

All schools have parent representatives on their school council. Numbers vary from approximately 4-8 per school. Their influence on relevant processes varies from school to school and may not be fully realised at some schools.
Parent Associations Vary from school to school. Some schools do not have them, while in others they are very active. Families in Education Association (FIEA)
FIEA is a sub-committee of the FMPLLEN that responds to a need for up-to-date research, resources and knowledge around strengthening families’ relationships with their children’s education. FIEA’s strategy focuses on encouraging school leadership attendance, which is integral to implementing change at a policy and strategic level. Parent Transition Information Sessions A 2013 partnership between FMPLLEN, Frankston Youth Services, Mornington Peninsula Shire Youth Services and Primary/Secondary schools let to three facilitated information sessions across the region. This work has continued through the Peninsula Families in Education Association Southern Peninsula Transition to Secondary Group The Rosebud West Community Renewal program, through the learning and development strategy, identified that a community priority was to increase support to young people. A partnership was formed and through this Anglicare auspice a parent liaison officer. FMPLLEN continue to facilitate
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 65 meetings with Rosebud Secondary College and Eastbourne Primary School to support the program. The parent liaison officer has facilitated parent engagement groups with over 68 parents from the secondary college.
4.1 Key Issues Impacting on Family Support Provided to Young People
There are a number of issues that impact on the ability of parents and families to support education and transition outcomes of young people. The following information has been obtained following consultation with, and surveys of, local education/training providers and parents: Lack of knowledge of the risks of leaving school to pursue part time work. Different levels of encouragement from schools for parents to become ‘partners’ in their children’s education.
Parents who do not perceive themselves as qualified to participate or contribute in school/careers/pathways matters. Some generational poverty, low educational attainment and lack of aspiration. Lack of experience with the Australian education system.
Some schools find it difficult to know how to engage parents successfully.
For some schools, strengthening family engagement specifically in their child’s education doesn’t have a high priority.
Parent friendly resources exist but are not always utilised for parent engagement and career information. Lack of industry knowledge, including major local employment sectors and local demand/skill shortages.
4.2 Local Parent Data Related to Careers and Transitions
Parental influence in shaping the aspirations and engagement of young people is well documented and is mediated by their SES. Influential factors include the level of parents’ education; their attitudes to school; and the broader community context.129 However, regardless of SES the factor that can make the most significant improvement in education outcomes is positive parent/guardian involvement in the child’s learning. PACTS and Lasting Gifts are two programs schools can use to enable and assist communication between families/guardians and their children,
Mind Matters and Kids Matter are frameworks schools can utilise to enhance the wellbeing of their students. Both of these have a strong family component. Local schools vary in their commitment to offering these services to their school families.
Frankston Mornington Peninsula Local Learning and Employment Network – Environmental Scan 2015 Page 66 5. Community Group Profile
There are increasing levels of coordination and collaboration across the FMP youth sector. Government initiatives including the Community Renewal sites and the Frankston Partnership (refer to section 6.3) are encouraging this trend, but there is also a growing number of partnerships that are forming at the local level. The following list provides a snapshot of active community groups in the FMP Region. It does not represent all community groups.

Victoria These changes have affected the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL) and Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS).

8. Challenges and Opportunities in FMP Service region
The following challenges are reflective of the four strategic goals of the FMPLLEN Strategic Plan 2010- 2013. An issue of importance for the FMP Region is the pattern of youth disadvantage in two community renewal areas (Frankston North and Rosebud West) and the need to support the schools within these communities. FMPLLEN will therefore be investing resources in these two areas over the coming years. The strategies FMPLLEN employ to achieve their strategic goals will be based on long term sustainability principles and the strategic frameworks for youth developed by Frankston City and Mornington Peninsula Shire in consultation with local communities.
Overall, the SYC and its core principles guide the work of FMPLLEN and its stakeholders and provide opportunities to meet the LLEN’s strategic goals by: Advocating for inclusive provision arrangements to engage young people in learning to Year 12 or its equivalent. Providing supportive interventions for students identified as potential early leavers.
Providing transition support for early school leavers to and between other education and training providers or employment with structured training. Providing reintegration support for early school leavers who have been severely disengaged from formal learning.
