GAP Year Opportunities for Year 13 students

Many students decide that they do not want to go straight on to University or work on completion of the A levels (or equivalent). A gap year is often the way forward for those who are making up their mind about the future and the more productively that year is spent, the more appealing students will be to future organisations they want to work with.

The Year in Industry Engineering Development Trust is recognised across the UK as one of the countries leading organisations for helping young people to find worthwhile Gap Year Placements. It's been doing it for over 20 years(!) and they have been in touch with Long Road College to let us know about a number of exciting opportunities they now have with employers such as Shell, Rolls Royce and QinetiQ to name a few. These places will be in high demand, so the earlier you apply the better. The link below gives you more information, but in the first instance, here are some of the criteria you must match up to:
  • You must be a Year 13 / Final year A level (or equivalent) student
    • Highly individual, proactive students with a thirst for knowledge and an appetite for
    discovery.
    • With very good grades at AS level or equivalent and high predicted grades at A2 level
    or equivalent
