Ever thought of taking a
Gap Year
and travelling or
working abroad?
Why work abroad . . . . . . well, why not?
There are lots of reasons why you should,
such as: – get to know other cultures; make
new friends around the world and get some
experience to put on your CV too!
Show future employees that you are adaptable
and flexible.
Volunteering is a great way to make a
difference to communities that need it the
most. Take part in community projects –
building, sports coaching, teaching etc.
Put your skills to good use – if you want to
be a teacher, teach abroad! If you have a first
aid certificate, you could actually work in a
hospital. Again, fantastic experience for
when you return!
If you can speak another language, imagine
how your interpreting skills may help others…
you can actually earn an internationally
recognised qualification such as a TEFL
46
(Teaching English as a Foreign Language)
and get paid along the way.
Internships – plenty of opportunities to work
for reputable firms and big businesses through
Business and Finance, Journalism and Media
internships and many more
Take a career break, change your routine –
travel the world – experience a new culture!
The world is your oyster……..
You won’t have to travel alone – you will always
be in a group, and you’ll get the chance to know
people before you set off
And lastly, do your research…ensure that you
travel with reputable companies. Check out the
sites below for more information
