Advice on working abroad during your career break or gap year
The best thing about booking one of Real Gap's gap year programmes is that we do loads of the hard work for you. If you would like to work abroad we can apply on your behalf for a working holiday visa. We can also help you find a job and in some instances arrange the job placement before you depart.
We have various gap year work abroad programmes in Canada and the USA where you can either work and travel for a couple of months on a summer jobs abroad placement or even up to a year if you are looking for a complete gap year work placement.
We have “work and play” programmes in New Zealand and Australia and also paid programmes allowing you to teach English abroad in China and Japan: you won't even need a teaching qualification. So if you find you are saying to yourself, 'I'm bored of my job', you will find that with Real Gap is so easy to move on and find another one!
