As Melbourne emerges from lockdown 6 and readjusts to a dramatically changed world of work, we announce the end of TYPP Series 1 for 2021.

The Young Professionals Podcast was an initiative created by ADAPT Careers at the beginning of Melbourne's lockdown in 2020. The career interviews hosted and prepared by Luke Marriott and Nicholas Sargeant were created to support young adults in their world of work exploration.

We know that these conversations have educated, inspired and motivated young adults to have inquisitive career conversations of their own. We hope they continue to be a useful career resource for those navigating their career. We have certainly learnt a lot along the way!

All episodes will continue to be available anywhere you listen to your podcasts. To find an episode specific to your industry or study area, visit https://bit.ly/adaptcareers.
