Gap Year Husky Farm Placements
A long-term gap-year placement combining hands-on work with the dogs and the business skills of running an Arctic husky farm.
A gap-year placement is a long commitment on both sides, so the fit has to be right. You will need to project-manage confidently to tight timelines and, ideally, bring specific skills, with more computing and behind-the-scenes work than shorter-stay visitors.
- A long-term commitment - a good fit matters on both sides
- Confident project management to tight timelines required
- Greater involvement in computing and behind-the-scenes tasks
- Business skills: lean pathways, 80:20 practices, marketing and sales
What you'll learn
Expect more business skills than you might imagine, lean pathways, 80:20 practices, marketing, sales and the background workings of running a business, even one that is a husky farm in the Arctic. Most of your time, particularly the first 6+ months, still goes on the dogs and on safari products in season. Contact us directly for more information.
