Abstract

This article focuses on the benefits of a gap year for high school students before they enter university for their future career development, including having enough time to consider job options, being more comfortable in the work environment and having more accessible access to career development. Today, many students choose to take a gap year after high school. Studying this issue is essential for education as it is, in part, closely linked to students’ future career development and employment in society. Studying the benefits of gap years can guide vocational education programmes in schools and help students in their career planning and decision-making. The primary debate in the literature related to this topic is that taking a gap year before university may only sometimes benefit students’ career development.
