Occupational Transition Movie




As part of one of our tutorial tasks, we are asked to construct a short film demonstrating an occupational concept. We choose the idea of occupational transition.

As humans we are constantly changing, developing and transiting through our life stages.This is known as occupational transition and can be further defined as "circumstances creating a change in the nature or type of engagement pursued by or available to an individual." (Christiansen & Townsend, 2011, p.421). Transitions happen throughout our lives whether it be moving house, going to school, starting a new job and many more.


As students, occupational transition has become a large part of our lives. We must learn to adapt to changes in study patterns, a new home away from home and transit into new responsibilities that come with this stage of life. As you will also see this transition has affected us in different ways as we are all individuals and experience transitions through life in different ways. So sit back and enjoy.
