Career break abroad, opportunities for a gap year for grown ups


Thinking about a mid - career break or keen to use your time to make a difference either before or during your retirement.

Career Gappers
 

It's never too late to take a gap year abroad:
A gap year is no longer just for students taking a break either pre or post University. Today a growing number of people are taking what is now called a gap year for grown ups, either mid-career or even post an active career. In fact, the market statistics show this group is now larger than the traditional student gap year market! You maybe thinking that the pressures of work are getting too much or the daily routine is just too boring...or taking an early retirement to pursue the dreams you have always had. Whatever your personal desires and aspirations, if you are planning a career break to do something different or something worthwhile and meaningful, use your skills and experience to make a difference….you have definitely come to the right place.

At GapGuru we offer a wide range of placements for career breaks or post-career breaks with the opportunity to do something meaningful in your time out.

As people with experience and skills gained through work, career break volunteers have a lot to offer charities and organizations abroad. We offer volunteer placements in Non Governmental Organisations (NGO's) and charities and also internships in various business & medical environments.

Working in an NGO:
With our volunteer placements there are so many different career break opportunities that you could work with and although we are realistic and appreciate that one person can't change the world, we do believe that many people can make a difference. That's what we aim to achieve with our range of projects. Career break volunteers who have travelled with us previously comment on how working in a developing world environment constantly challenges them and teaches them how to adjust their professional skills to fit the local context. Also, what a humbling and levelling experience it is to work with some of the world's most underprivileged people!

The range of gap year projects we have ensures that there is something to interest everyone and give you an opportunity to use the skills you have learned in your career to date.

And finally...
Taking a career break abroad offers a chance to see and experience a country like you would never do as a tourist, a chance to get under the veneer and start to understand what makes the country tick. There are many, many different aspects to living and working abroad and we are sure you will find the experience rewarding and challenging - as previous career gappers have done.
