Beat the recession
It has been revealed by Projects Abroad a company specialising in arranging gap year opportunities that growing numbers of gap year school and university leavers are extending their stay abroad beyond the originally planned term since the onset of the recession last year.
An unprecedented number of requests have been received from young people who fearful of the slim opportunities to find work or embark on their careers have decided against returning to the UK just now.
The job situation is exacerbated by the increased number of school and university leavers planning to take a gap year because of the recession.
The firm’s chairman Dr Peter Stowe said “In nearly 20 years of operation we have never seen young people basically not wanting to come home.” He explained that More than 130 requests have been made this year on behalf of youngsters working in third world countries
