The best way to arrange a gap year is to gain admission to college and then request that admittance be deferred for a year, if the college supports this option. This step will usually require that a plan for the deferred year be submitted and approved. There are some colleges, however, that do have specific college sponsored gap year programs for admitted students, e.g. see Tufts and Princeton. If you don’t get admitted to college before your gap year, then be sure to maintain contacts with your high school counselors in order to complete the admission process the following year.
“There were over 3 million jobs in 2008 that were sitting there, and nobody was really talking about them because they weren’t aspirational. So long-story-short, I figured lack of appreciation for skilled labor ultimately manifested itself in a kind of disconnect that led us to push kids in one direction, ignore another direction, and that ultimately created a whole lot of jobs that nobody was too enthused about.”Rowe started a foundation that provides resources, scholarships, and even a job board for those interested in pursuing skilled trades.
