Much like young adults exiting their high school years and preparing themselves for college, military, and field-specific training, “gap” years are a break between life stages to pursue personal growth and exploration. In some personal cases, it's necessary to prepare themselves for their future venture. Perhaps they have to complete some hands-on apprenticeship or travel to a certain area to better prepare themselves for their studies.

They need more time to mature, make or save money, or they want to relive their adolescent years just a bit longer. No matter the reason for a “gap” year, they are critical in personal and professional growth.
