Get the experience only an apprenticeship can offer

I knew a Graduate Apprenticeship would be a good idea. I'll get my full Bachelor's degree, work full-time, gain experience and I'm getting paid. It's a win-win in every aspect.

Gap years can be used to enhance your CV, travel, learn new skills, and much more. Find out more and get some inspiration here.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A gap year offers you the opportunity to gain skills and experiences, while giving you time to reflect and focus on what you want to do next.

A productive gap year can be valuable on your CV - many employers value the experiences students have gained if they've actively managed their time, set themselves goals, and stretched themselves.

A gap year can also enhance your higher education studies - if you decide to apply for uni, you could tailor your gap year to relate it to the subject area you plan to study.

Admissions tutors know that some students may take a little time to adjust to studying again, but many former gap year students are generally more focused and responsible.

Volunteering - support a worthwhile cause and gain valuable experience. You could take part in a wildlife conservation project, teach children, or help build a school in a third world country.

Travel - explore the world, discover new cultures, and develop your independent living skills at the same time. You could go backpacking across South East Asia, InterRail through Europe, or buy a round the world plane ticket.

Paid employment - earn money and gain new skills at home or aboard. You could work on an outback farm in Australia, as a ski lift operator in Canada, or at a backpacker hostel in New Zealand.

Work experience - if you want to gain relevant experience and skills for a particular career or subject you plan to study, you could consider a work placement or internship. These can last from a few weeks to a year. Depending on the type of contract on offer, you may or may not receive a salary. These are very popular and competition for places is high, so you need to apply early.

Part-time courses - why not take the opportunity to try something new? You could take up a new language, learn how to programme, try a new sport or music instrument, or learn a new practical skill, such as mechanics, carpentry, or cookery.

It's important to form a plan of what you will do for the year, no matter what your gap year idea is, and you need to start planning well in advance. Some voluntary work schemes are popular and have strict deadlines, and you need to consider when you need the money to pay for airfares or visas.

There are loads of ideas you could consider - some might fill an entire year, others a few weeks or months. You could also combine more than one idea.

Hey there, I'm Lucy! A recent Music Business graduate from Leeds and Communications Lead at ERIC.

After leaving university, I thought my career path would be laid out, but it wasn't. I'm still figuring out what I want to get out of my career journey, but squiggly is the way to go.

That's why I joined ERIC to help other young people figure out what makes them jump out of bed in the morning.
