Bridge Years
WHY A BRIDGE YEAR INSTEAD OF A GAP YEAR?
Gaps are holes! Who wants to be in a hole? Bridges go over gaps. A bridge year experience creates a connection between what you are currently doing and what you want to do. In a bridge experience, you gain experience and knowledge that builds upon what you already can do while helping you acquire new skills that will lead to what you want to do. Bridge years can also help you discern how you can transfer your skills from one career path to another or whether you really want to do what you have your mind set on doing.
