Fully revised and updated for 2010, this 6th edition of Your Gap Year is the most comprehensive guide to taking a gap year. Compiled by leading gap year specialist Susan Griffith.
Your Gap Year is everything you need to know to make your year out the adventure of a lifetime with more than 100 first-hand accounts providing real insight into what taking a gap year is all about.
Vacation Work - the gap year experts - have produced Your Gap Year in a handy backpack-friendly size so that you can have this wealth of information at your finger tips throughout your year out. Containing the latest information on British Government initiatives for gappers such as Platform2, Your Gap Year is a country-by-country guide to help you plan for your gap year successfully whether you are going travelling, working or volunteering.
The recession, rising unemployment and increasing pressure on university places may present an opportunity for an unscheduled year out; by following the experiences presented by recent gappers in the many case studies in Your Gap Year you too could work in a Rocky Mountain ski resort, volunteer to teach at a school in Thailand, or join a marine research project in Madagascar - all of which will enhance a future CV.
Internships are proving increasingly popular and the chapter on Work Experience in the book lists placements abroad as well as in the UK. In addition to listing details of gap year companies, this gappers-bible informs you how to save money by organising your own gap year itinerary or by taking a gap year in Britain.
