VentureCo specializes in gap year and career break adventures; all of the programmes are about working within a group, helping developing communities and exploring off the beaten track. VentureCo provides travel with a purpose in the company of like-minded travellers. The company's combination ventures consist of three aspects: cultural orientation (language and culture), aid/volunteer work and an unconventional travel experience. In addition to the gap year and career break programmes, there are also summer programmes that provide all of the aspects of the gap year, but in a shorter time frame.
