Description

With CAO Offers Day around the corner, thousands of young Irish students are at a pivotal moment in their lives.



For some however, the journey to college and beyond is different to what they expected, and we want to shine a light on some of those stories.



For this episode of The Studyclix Podcast, Luke talks to  TikToker (and former Studyclix Ambassador!) Jake Glendon, who is hoping to start his first year in college this September after taking a gap year following his Leaving Cert.



Jake talks about the moment he realised a gap year was right for him, the ups and downs of that decision, and what advice he would give to students considering the same.



For more gap year advice and general tips about school and exams, check out Jake's TikTok here.
