How to Take a Gap Year in 2025

Taking a gap year offers students a chance to build skills, practice independence and explore their personal and academic interests at a pivotal moment in their development. This rite of passage offers students a chance to prepare for adulthood outside the formal academic environment, and studies tell us students who take intentional gap time prior to college thrive academically and socially once on campus.

Whether you have always wanted to take a gap year or find yourself newly considering this option, this webinar will start you on the path to having a plan for the future that you can get excited about.

Professional gap year counselor Julia Rogers of EnRoute Consulting will guide you through the opportunities available close to home or around the world. She will also discuss how to plan for college deferment or reapplication, how to finance gap time and provide tips for designing a meaningful gap year.
