Program Introduction

For those considering a working holiday, professional consultants provide one-on-one consultations to help address concerns and propose working holiday approaches tailored to each individual’s situation and goals. We also support rapid local adaptation and a meaningful working holiday through individual missions and various feedback on the plans you have written.

A working holiday is a special opportunity to work abroad, earn money, and improve your foreign language skills. However, there are many things to check and decide in advance—such as choosing a country, applying for a visa, securing a job, and arranging accommodation—so it can be difficult to prepare on your own. If you go with a “just go and figure it out” mindset, you may return without achieving your goals. You might not be able to find proper employment locally due to insufficient language skills, or you could be deceived and not receive proper wages because you are unfamiliar with local conditions.
We help you prepare systematically so you can improve your language skills and quickly find a job in the country you want, such as Australia, Canada, or Japan. If you want to achieve the working holiday life you dream of, apply for consulting now.

Have you decided to go on a working holiday but feel overwhelmed about which country to choose or what to prepare first? With GapYear working holiday consulting, you can review the pros and cons by country and prepare your working holiday step by step according to your situation and goals. Consultants also help you consider and discuss suitable jobs among various options such as hotels, resorts, cafes, farms, and factories. If necessary, we can connect you with language schools to quickly build confidence and language skills and make it easier to find local employment. Create your own detailed working holiday plan with GapYear.

Many people apply for a working holiday dreaming of improving language skills and gaining new experiences and opportunities. However, living in an unfamiliar foreign place for the first time often brings realities different from expectations. You may end up staying only within Korean communities because communication is difficult, or spend your time focusing solely on earning money rather than having new experiences. As a result, when the working holiday ends without achieving your goals, you may be left wondering, “What did I come here for?”
To have a successful working holiday, it is important to start with a clear understanding of what you want and your goals. Through one-on-one consultations with a professional consultant, we assess your current situation and direction. After analyzing what you need, we propose solutions together. We provide each person with GapYear’s special missions and support personal growth by checking mission progress and giving feedback. Start with a GapYear consultant to make your working holiday more rewarding.

■ Participant Reviews

I took a solo working holiday to Sydney, Australia through the Gap Year Working Holiday Project. Including travel after the work portion, I was away for about a year. Since many people say that if you go on a working holiday you won't find work and will just waste time, I applied because I wanted to live properly. The one-year working holiday in Australia greatly increased my confidence in many areas. In particular, I feel much more at ease going abroad and using English. I now at least have the confidence to be the one to start a conversation.

It started with the question, 'What should I do if I take a leave of absence?' At that moment, this project came to mind, and I really did it — I went on a working holiday to the UK. The best part was having the opportunity. I wanted to experience new things and make memories, and to come back as a better person who can handle anything on my own.
