Door 01 / For students

You are the one
taking the leap.

Tell us what you are drawn to. We match you to a host organisation, brief you, place you, and stay with you until you know what you want next.

What that means here

Placement matching by pipeline: medical, engineering, business, project management or agriculture.

One intake form. Passport, CV and the signed indemnity, asked for once and once only.

A named supervisor on site, and a GapIT contact you can reach while you are there.

A certificate, a reference letter and a career map at the end of it.

Before you apply

The free hour comes first.

Most students book the consultation before applying. It is an hour, it costs nothing, and it usually changes which pipeline you pick.

Before you decide

The five pipelines

Medical, engineering, business, project management and agriculture. Each one is a real set of host organisations with real work going on inside them.

The four routes

Shadow placements, immersion programmes, cultural exchange and study-abroad guidance. All of them put you next to someone doing the work.

Where each one leads

The fields participants have gone on to study and work in, set out with no guarantee of a place or a job attached.
