With the New Year fast-approaching, we canāt help but reflect on the past 12 months.
Thinking about all the incredible adventures, growth, and travel we were a part of inspired us to create Gap Wrapped, a celebration of the life-changing, international gap experiences our students embarked on in 2022!
Talk about a global network!
From Asia to Europe, EF Gap Year students worked abroad in the fashion, financial, travel and tourism industries, as well as at business, educational, and legal enterprisesāto name just a few.
Fun fact: marketing was the most popular field for our internships.
EF Gap students set out to be a force for good in the world, collaborating with their cohort and local communities to complete service & sustainability-centric projects in 1 of 6 countries: Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, and Thailand.Ā
Our students live and study in the global city of their choice, experiencing complete cultural immersion and discovering authentic language learning.Ā
See for yourself. Follow the hashtag #GapWrapped to see our students share their best year yet.
