Description

COME AND JOIN US...

We are currently seeking ambitious and creative individuals to join our Gap Year programme in Food and Beverage.

Gap years are about challenging yourself to learn new skills, meet new people, try different experiences, open your horizons and discover fresh possibilities before forging your path.

You don't need to buy a ticket to live overseas to make the most of a gap year; a gap year can be a chance to immerse yourself in the world of work to help you choose your next steps.

The fully-paid Glen Gap Year experience is not just for school leavers; it's for anyone looking for exceptional career development opportunities in Food & Beverage.

Whether you're exploring your options, saving cash before college, deferring your university place, getting back into work after a break, or simply curious to try something a wee bit different, the 12-month Glen Gap Year is a ticket to practical experience, professional development and career success.
