Career Coaching for Gap Year students:
A Gap Year is a brilliant way to refresh yourself and your outlook and think about where you're going. Whether your Gap Year lasts for a few weeks, a few months or much longer, it's an opportunity for you to get a fresh perspective and think clearly your job options.
However, we know that this is not necessarily as easy as it sounds. The options for Gap Years are wider than they have ever been. You can simply go backpacking, you can get involved in voluntary work, you can try out some extreme sports or learn a new language or other skill. All of these are great experiences in their own right...but the chances are you will get back from your supposedly life-changing experience and you'll still be asking yourself the question: "What do I want to do with my life?"
That's where we come in.
We not only offer an exciting range of adventure sport, language & professional development experiences, we combine these with the highest quality career coaching and advice so that you can think constructively about your career options and make the most of your gap year travel abroad.

What do I get out of this Gap Year Careers Coaching?
Your career coach will help you to:
- Get really clear about exactly what it is you want from your career.
- Focus on the 3 key elements of successful career planning:
- Your values (what's important to you and drives you);
- Your skills, signature strengths and personal style; &
- Your interests and passions
- Use this information to identify career routes to suit you. We don't just give you the tools and leave you to do the hard work on your own - we'll sit with you and help you brainstorm, so that you go away with plenty of new ideas.
- Successfully negotiate the maze of job search options - Did you know that 80% of jobs are never advertised?!
- We will work with you to put together an action plan tailored to you, the areas you are interested in, and the most effective way of accessing the right job opportunities
- Write a killer CV that will guarantee you get interviews
- Prepare to make a big impact at interview & get you the job you want
- Deal with the issues that hold most people back: procrastination, fear of failure, poor time management and lack of focus
- And it doesn't end when your Gap Year does – Your Career Coach will follow up with you and offer you all the ongoing support & advice you need
- And the best thing – it does not cost a lot!!
