Turn your experience into your advantage.
The Experience Gap CIC helps 14–25s understand how communicating real-world experience makes them stand out in a crowded job market — through courses for schools, colleges & universities, and immersive experiences across the UK and overseas.
Everyone has an experience gap. We help you tell it like a strength.
Most young people have more experience than they realise, but struggle to put it into words employers understand. Born from a partnership between a career coaching business and a travel tour operation expert, we turn lived experience into confidence, interview answers, and a CV that stands out from the crowd.
