In partnership with Brimbank Learning Futures, Linked IRL is a networking event for young people aged 16-25 years who live, work, study, or recreate in the City of Brimbank, DESIGNED by young people.

We invite you to join us each month to:

Hear from insightful guest speakers across a variety of industries
Find out about opportunities in further education & employment
Broaden your professional networks
Strengthen your social connections

This month, our youth co-design committee has decided on the theme CAREERS IN BEAUTY. Hear from real people working in the rapidly expanding beauty industry: what does a job in beauty really look like behind the influencer's lens? Meet other young people who might end up being your future co-workers — or come along to learn all about the successes and challenges of the sector.
