 In the 2005 Budget, the Australian Government extended its commitment to improve the career education and transition support services availiable to young Australians.
tranzitions @ work play a significant and valuable role in responding to emerging skills needs in the community. Our role is to develop and implement strategies that will increase your child's awareness of industry skill requirements while providing valuable hands on experience. All of our services are completely Government funded which ensures maximum participation from students. The first year after school is in most cases the most important year in the career development of young people.
