College travel
Gap year college travel
Taking a gap year is now an integral part of the college experience. Whether you are taking a year out, or are trying to cram a short expedition into your holidays, the right trip will be rewarding both personally and professionally.College travel boosts your career prospects
College travel can boost your career prospects. Experiences such as team work, project management and budgeting gained through travel are highly valued by potential employers.
Selecting the most suitable college travel experience
When selecting a college expedition you should spend time thinking about what you hope to achieve from it.

If you’re planning a trip to have fun and help your career along, why not choose a college travel experience that gives something back? World Challenge runs expeditions that balance relaxation and adventure with the rewarding experience of participating in a group project. Use your existing skills to help others, or learn new ones by choosing your project carefully. |
Perhaps you’re interested in learning a new skill, such as diving, which could develop into a lifelong hobby. A college travel experience like this will demonstrate to employers that you have a keen interest to learn new things and the dedication to see something through. It also shows that you have the drive to try something that requires a certain amount of bravery – it’s a skill that demands your attention as it can be dangerous if not taken seriously!
All of our expeditions are there to provide learning experiences and challenges. Each and every one can be turned into examples to boost your CV and job interviews. But more importantly each of our trips are about having the most amazing experience at the best time in your life when your whole future is open to you. Whether you’re searching for answers about which direction your life should take, or you just want to take a break from the education treadmill, a World Challenge college travel experience can offer you the time, space and the life changing experiences that could help you find your way.

My parents don’t like the idea backpacking
Get your parents to read through the World Challenge website. Whilst we encourage independence, our trips are backed by highly trained staff, with full risk assessments, and every care is taken to make sure our college travel expeditions are safe and secure. Your parents are likely to feel more comfortable knowing you are in the safety of an organised group rather than backpacking on your own.
College travel is a win win situation. Have fun and reap the benefits for your career and your future! What are you waiting for?
