TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jun 24 (MARKET WIRE) --
Attn: Education Reporters

www.mygapyear.ca - Co-founders Julie Newton and Tara Rinomato today
announce the launch of mygapyear.ca. Targeting young adults, mygapyear.ca
builds customized plans and creates programs for a gap year.

"The benefit of a gap year is two-fold," said Tara Rinomato, co-founder
of mygapyear.ca. It's an opportunity to strengthen soft skills and
enhance an application form/resume and we're thrilled to bring these
life-changing experiences to our clients."

"We use coaching to establish personal development goals and to capture
the learning during and after a gap year experience", said Julie Newton,
co-founder of mygapyear.ca. "The positive feedback we've received from
our clients gives us further confidence of the importance of a gap year."

"We at York University are pleased to be the first Canadian university to
support students taking a gap year. We have done this because we believe
strongly in the importance of taking a gap year for those students who
feel they may not be ready to jump into university" said Ken Withers,
Director, Recruitment and Applicant Relations at York University.

"Students are coming to Ontario universities at a younger age than ever
before and many actually benefit from time off to learn more about
themselves" said Diane Crocker, Registrar and Director of Enrolment
Management, University of Toronto. "A gap year can prepare students for a
more meaningful university experience."

mygapyear.ca incorporates the client's personal goals into a plan for
travel, work, volunteering, education, wilderness/leadership experiences.
mygapyear.ca saves the client hours of work and reveals possibilities
that would otherwise be difficult to access. mygapyear provides follow-up
and encouragement to help implement a successful mygapyear plan.
