Choose a career break projectOnce you have made the exciting decision to take a career break the next step is to think about what type of career break projects most appeal to you. There are all kinds of career break projects to choose from, to suit all tastes and interests, so it's important you spend a bit of time doing some research in order to find career break project that matches your individual requirements.
The best starting point for researching career break projects is our website, which is packed with useful advice and contains full details on all of our career break projects. Alternatively, if you would prefer to discuss your ideas for career break projects with someone, you can always speak to one of our travel advisers - each of our career break travel advisers have travelled on their own gap year and therefore have useful career break advice.
To provide an idea of the type of career break projects that are possible, our ‘Career break projects' page takes a brief look at some of the most popular options.
Career break projects - See the world
One of the most thrilling career break projects is to use your new-found freedom to make sure you travel to all of those places in the world you have always dreamed about visiting. The best way to get started on this type of career break project is to write down a list of the countries you would most like to visit. Once you have done this you can then discuss your career break project ideas with one of our travel advisers - who will be able to advise you on how to go about incorporating your ideas in to a round the world itinerary. If you would prefer to travel extensively in just one country or region, we also have plenty of career break projects that allow you to do just that (our ‘Thai Explorer' and ‘Thai Discovery' programmes for example).
Career break projects - Volunteer
An increasingly popular career break option is to do some voluntary work whilst you are away. This type of career break project enables you to make a positive contribution to the place you are visiting whilst, at the same time, getting to know the country and its people on a far more genuine level.
Volunteer career break projects give you a real sense of personal achievement and provide you with a far more ‘real' travel experience. We have a diverse range of volunteer career break projects all over the world - from orang-utan conservation in Borneo to helping care for AIDS orphans in Africa.
Career break projects - Learn something new
If you fancy the idea of learning some new skills whilst you are away, there are all kinds of career break projects to choose from. Learn how to sail in Australia, learn how to speak Spanish or Portuguese in Latin America or learn how to scuba dive in Malaysia, these are just some of the career break projects you could consider.
