My company has just introduced career breaks for staff who've got at
least five years' service. I'm eligible because I passed the
five-year mark last week. |
Kerry |
What does " career break " mean exactly ? |
Joshua |
It means that we can take up to three months away from the company
to work on a project involving service to the community at home or
abroad. |
Kerry |
Sounds a great idea. Are you going to apply ? |
Joshua |
Oh sure. I've just been reading about a
sustainable development project in Africa which is
advertising for volunteers. I'm going to go for that. |
Kerry |
What's the project trying to achieve ? |
Joshua |
It's trying to help people improve their standard of living without
using up their natural resources and damaging the environment. |
