"A gap year is an intentional period of time spent away from formal education for a young person to get “real world” experience and understand who they are outside of a classroom. This also goes for university and college students who have the option to take a gap between years of study or upon graduation.
Through experiential learning and foundational skill development, students have the opportunity to work, volunteer, travel, focus on their physical and mental well-being, and engage in activities that support their passions and interests and help provide clarity for life’s next steps."
