tranzitions @ work was formed in 1997 by local high schools to co-ordinate work placements. This was also facilitated by funding from the Australian Student Traineeship Foundation (ASTF) which later became the Enterprise and Career Education Foundation (ECEF).
In the 2005 budget, the Australian Government extended its commitment to improve the career education and transition support services available to young Australians by establishing the Career Advice Australia (CAA) initiative. Under the CAA initiative tranzitions @ work became a Local Community Partnership (LCP) working with over 36 schools and over 26 000 secondary school students within the regions of Northern Brisbane and the Redcliffe Peninsular.
The aim is to ensure all young people aged 13 to 19 have the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge required for seamless and successful transition from school to post-school options in education, training and the workplace
tranzitions @ work has a management commitee of well respected individuals in the community that oversees the operations.

Brisbane Broncos stars David Stagg and Dane Carlaw are proud ambassadors for the organization.  
“To be associated with tranzitions @ work is great as they do so much work for youth in our community. Many young people are confused about what they want to do after school. tranzitions @ work provide opportunities for students to obtain work experience and even apprenticeships.”  
“To have the opportunity to give something back to the community where I grew up is great. I really hope my association with tranzitions @ work can encourage and inspire students to be passionate about their future career.”
