Now, shall we read how Gap Year is defined?

Gap year

Often a year spent working or traveling between finishing high school and starting college.

 

Well, that sounds a bit complicated, doesn't it? It seems unnecessarily difficult to create a name just for a year of working or traveling.

So, to get a better understanding of what a Gap Year really is, let's turn to our trusty friend that we often consult for our assignments: Wikipedia!

Wow! There are some really long sentences here, and they're in English too. But with a little patience, we'll uncover the true essence of Gap Year!

So, let's summarize what we've found:
After some interpretation and reflection, I think we've got a good grasp of what a Gap Year is :)

What is Gapyear?

- A Gap Year is a period when you take a break from your studies to engage in creative activities such as volunteering, traveling, exploring career options, education, internships, or starting a business. It’s a time to experience these activities firsthand and use the experiences to determine the direction you want to take in the future.

- Globally, the Gap Year is recognized as a system that helps students, professionals, and employees improve their academic and work performance, and it’s also promoted as a cultural practice that can address various social issues.
The Gap Year concept began in the UK and is now widely practiced across Europe, the U.S., Canada, Australia, Africa, and Asia, under the name "Gap Year."

- In Ireland, it's referred to as the "Transition Year."

 

Oh! It seems like a really great system. We encourage Korean students to also take a Gap Year!

We hope that Korean students don't just take a Gap Year to build their resumes, but rather use it as a time to truly understand themselves. Korea Gap Year supports your dreams!
