PLANNING A GAP YEAR

The best reason for the people to take a gap year between school and work is to improve their CVs with experience overseas. Some school leavers in Britain think a year out is essential because they should acquire some experience and qualification to apply for a job. A gap year can be a good chance. Many want to travel overseas. Their favourite destinations are Sydney and Nepal.

INDEPENDENT offers much more than a trip abroad. People can combine work with pleasure. At INDEPENDENT, they acquire skills that lead to interesting jobs both for their gap year and future holidays. Magazines are full of ‘Wanted’ adverts for washing up in a restaurant. Well, we don’t do that - it’s not our idea of excitement. We offer school leavers the chance for outdoor adventure. They will be able to do things like sailing, climbing or snowboarding. They could become an experienced yacht skipper or instructor and many people go on to spend their future holidays being paid to enjoy their favourite sport.

A gap year with INDEPENDENT means professional training and international adventure.
