Members can access materials relating to this area of work on our Membership Resources Site.
Key transition points for students include entering higher education, moving between years or levels of study and progressing into employment. These are exciting times, but they can also be challenging for students and those who support them.
Our resources offer thought-provoking insights and practical tools to help staff in student-facing roles, as well as materials designed to be used by students themselves.
