It’s not very often that people have a clear path of what they’ll do after graduating or completing their studies. It’s very easy to enter a mode of panic whilst trying to plan your future and even the pressure from family and friends can be overbearing. Lucky for you, at Euroace, we have a different way of thinking.

Our Gap year programs not only encourage skill development and career exploration but they also facilitate both personal and professional growth. Isn’t that what every graduate wants and needs? Being able to gain relevant work experience and cultural intelligence before going into the world of work or studies is definitely a massive help and Euroace is here to support you every step of the way.

If you’re still unsure or not 10o% made up about your future plans then a Euroace gap year program may be just perfect for you! Here are some of the main reasons why:

Personal development

We would argue that personal development is one of the most important things to gain out of a gap year program and it is actually one of the easiest things to achieve! A lot of you may feel burnt out or overwhelmed after being in an academic environment for so long and a gap year can serve as a break for you to refuel.

During the program, you can explore different career paths and gain insight into what kind of things you like and don’t like. For example, individuals can explore their interests, values, and passions, gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. This opportunity might not be available if you rush straight into a job or a full time commitment!

Career exploration

Even after years of studying and working towards goals, its hard to know exactly what type of job you want to dive into – Euroace can help with this! we offer internships in numerous sectors, allowing interns to explore different career paths before committing to a specific academic or professional track. Our internships allow you to work closely with professionals and mirror the tasks that they do, which really help our interns decide if this is the right sector for them at the end of it all.

Career development is just a small part of it all, a gap year program can also help individuals develop a range of skills, including communication, problem-solving, adaptability, and leadership. These skills are often transferable and are helpful in various aspects of life.

 Travel exposure: Seeing how the world works

Another great thing about our Gap Year programs is that we allow flexibility for our students. There is always a lot of free time after our internships and Spanish classes to travel and explore different places in Spain as well as other countries. This exposure introduces our students to new cultures, languages and perspectives, allowing them to see the way the world works and broaden their horizons.

Euroace always strives to make its programs as fun and engaging as possible! We regularly organize activities such as cooking classes and flamenco shows, day trips, and cultural visits to places in Valencia and towns and cities surrounding it. We always encourage our students to travel and step out of their comfort zone and with a gap year program they’ll be able to do just that.

Gaining independence

Whether you stay with a Spanish host family or decide to go more private and reside in a shared apartment, making the choice to live independently and managing your own finances is a big step towards self independence and personal development. Being able to navigate the challenges of daily life without the immediate support of parents or teachers is also a big plus! It shows you that you can overcome these problems independently and help you gain confidence for the world of work.

A once in a lifetime experience

Last, but definitely not least, embarking on a gap year can provide a once-in-a-lifetime experience which undoubtedly offers unique opportunities for personal growth, adventure, and exploration. It’s not every day that you can move to another country, integrate yourself into its culture and traditions and make amazing new friends and relationships all at the same time!
