The Victorian Early Leaver Connection Initiative (VELCI)

Sometimes the change from secondary school to another education, training or work pathway can be challenging.  The Victorian Early Leaver Connection Initiative (VELCI) Career Advice Service is a free and voluntary service that provides career, training and education advice to support exempted students to stay engaged in their approved education or training and/or employment pathway.

The VELCI Career Advice Service will help you keep pursuing education, training and work that fits your strengths and interests. It includes:

  • regular check-ins from your local Skills and Jobs Centre to ask you how you are doing
  • somebody to call if you have any questions, or if you are worried about your education, training or work
  • career, training and education advice sessions with a qualified career counsellor
  • help with making appointments at other support organisations, if you need it.

The Wodonga Skills and Jobs Centre VELCI service supports the following local government areas: Alpine, Benalla, Indigo, Mansfield, Towong, Wangaratta, and Wodonga. We will collaborate with local providers in these regions to ensure you receive the best possible experience!
