Welcome to the Student Transitions Podcast

About the Podcast

Life is full of change and resulting periods of transition.

For students, some of life’s big transitions begin as they move through education and then on to work, higher education, university and independent living.

Learning how to thrive through these early transitions provides invaluable skills for future change and transition.

This podcast shares insights and strategies to help students thrive in a world where change is the only constant.

Content is helpful for students, educators and parents/carers.
