These schemes has been developed to support people who are right for this role, committed to working in partnership with TeachChina and VEC, but would simply struggle if they did not have funds to make the dream happen.
This is a unique and bold step, as with any kind of front-loaded funding, there is always the chance that you may pull back and decide not to take up your post. In these cases, we have a failsafe in that we ask you to find someone to underwrite you, but the reality is that if you've come as far as the conditions we've put in place, the likelihood is that you're fired up and desperate to get out there and immerse yourself in a new and exciting world.

5* This is simply to ensure that you are a) aware of flight prices around that time, and that you are clear about how to go about booking a flight to China (for maximum efficiency), and b) so that there are no surprises (e.g. Grannies birthday or Aunty Margo's wedding) during the first phase of your employment that might require you to stay in the UK or fly home (Other examples include Grampa Dave's unveiling of his stamp collection, or even your mate's Hen or Stag Night!)
