Students + Schools
NE Tracks connects students, schools and families with diverse Work Based learning opportunities to build work readiness.

VIC VICE Headsets
VIC VICE is a brand new virtual reality platform where students can explore the world of work.
​
The platform allows secondary students to see touch and experience different workplaces. It is a modern solution to growing workforce shortages and a widening skills gap. VIC VICE was developed by Goulburn Murray LLEN in partnership with VicLLENs.
​
NE Tracks LLEN has a set of VIC VICE headsets available for schools, universities, and community groups to explore and interact with a range of career pathways. We can provide training and support in this engaging and immersive activity.
