Breed Local Community Partnership

Blacktown Regional Economic and Employment Development (BREED) Taskforce Inc were established in July 1992 with funding from the then Federal Department of Employment, Education and Training (DEET). Its aim is to stimulate economic and employment growth within the Blacktown area.

Two of the projects undertaken by the BREED Taskforce Inc. were the Blacktown School-Industry Network (Blacktown SIN) and the Mt Druitt Industry-Education Partnership (Mt Druitt IEP).

Both Blacktown SIN and Mt Druitt IEP were established to provide a co-ordinated approach assisting Year 11 and 12 students studying Vocational Education Training (VET) subjects for the HSC in obtaining work placements.

BREED Local Community Partnership celebrated with local employers and students at the 2009 Awards evening held on the 17th November. Students that had completed a 35 hour week of work placement as part of their Vocational Education & Training (VET) Cert II Course had the opportunity to nominate the employer that hosted them if they felt it was a rewarding experience. The winner of Category Auto Employer of the Year went to Lander Mitsubishi and Suzuki, Blacktown.

We have been taking Auto students for the past 2 years and always offer a rewarding experience for them. Our Service Manager and team ensure students have an opportunity to learn about all facets of high quality car servicing and maintenance, as well as give them a well rounded experience of the industry to make it easier for them to decide if that is the career path they wish to follow.
