What we provide
The Northern Learning Hub is a place of learning and development, offering several non-accredited training programs matched to individual goals and needs. Programs aim to help build confidence in a learning environment and can be a stepping stone to TAFE courses or open employment.
Participants at the The Hub learn, socialise and engage with their local community in a variety of settings. Hub programs are designed to enhance life skills and promote choice, inclusion and independence. We provide supportive and educational community-based programs for young people and adults with disability.
Programs are delivered by qualified staff committed to supporting individuals working towards their life, study or employment goals.
The Hub can create a learning and support network for life, providing access to new social networks and friendships.
What makes our Northern Learning Hub different
The former Yooralla Broadmeadows Community Hub has recently been reimagined into the new Northern Learning Hub, a place (well actually multiple places!), focused on learning and development for adults with disability. The weekly program includes two days based out of Yooralla’s Fawkner Community Hub digital learning space, two days a week at Hume Council’s Broadmeadows Community Hub and a full day of community access at various locations in Melbourne.
