Gap Year

What is a gap year?

A gap year is a period of time when a student takes a break from their studies.

Many students choose to take a gap year after graduating high school or college in order to travel, work, or figure out their next step in life.

Why should I take a gap year?

Gap years can help a student or employee stand out. Gap years are a great opportunity for people to build their resume by trying new hobbies, volunteering in their community, traveling, learning a new language, and more.

Gap years can be extremely transformative and allow students to gain insight about their futures before jumping directly into higher education.
