Saxon Phipps and William Stubley are Co-CEOs and Co-Founders of Year13, an organisation looking to improve the experience of highschool graduates transitioning to tertiary education and the workforce.
Although Saxon and Will both had very different experiences during the transitional period between highschool and and tertiary education, both found the experience overwhelming, confusing, and were without the correct tools to aid their decision making in choosing what they wanted to do. However, a suicide of a mutal friend who was struggling the transition to teritay eductation would lead them to the idea of creating an organisation that would assist school leavers through the process.
From its humble beginnings as a blog and information portal, Year13 is now a hub for those leaving school: from job offerings, to education opportunities and resources, to even conducting their own studies on the attitudes, feelings, frictions, and hopes of those going through the highschool-to-tertiary transition.
