UK Launches Gap Year in Armed Forces
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
The UKs Ministry of Defence introduces a new gap year program, allowing young people under 25 to experience military life without a long-term commitment. This paid twelve-month course, set to launch in spring 2026, aims to address recruitment and retention challenges. The program, inspired by Australias successful scheme, will offer key skills and potentially inspire full-time military careers. However, critics argue its too small-scale and wont significantly boost war readiness.
