Career Breaks & Gap Year
WEXAS Groups department specialise in organising travel for people who wish to take a career break or time out on a gap year.
WEXAS have teamed up with various conservation groups, expeditionary companies and projects worldwide to enable people who are fed up at work, need to take time off to re-charge their batteries or just simply wish to give something back to society.
Whether it be a month off in Madagascar with the Global Marine Conservation and Research team or a year teaching children in a Shanty town in Peru it’s entirely up to you.
There are excellent opportunities to learn new skills, meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds and participate in life changing experiences.
