After completing high school or college, what is the next step? This transitional period may be the perfect time to take a step back and get a broader perspective on the world by traveling abroad. Taking a gap year is a chance to discover new interests, master new skills or languages, and shift your perspective in a new community. World Endeavors gap year participants do all this and more and return home better prepared than ever for college, graduate school, or a career.
Intern Abroad
Many students and recent graduates find it difficult to distinguish themselves in the crowd of job applicants. Taking a gap year to intern abroad is a chance to explore a career field in an exciting setting and gain some unbeatable life experience. In the course of the internship, they get exposure to the career field they’re interested in and acquire experience in that field.
