Program Description

China Education Exchange has developed a program for retirees to have the opportunity to come to China to train, teach or work with our partnered institutions and organizations.

This program is designed as we see, acknowledge and admire this whole new generation's respect to elderly professionals.
Though some positions are paid and others are unpaid, this program creates a new dimension for you to track as you start your active retirement age in China. Some companies also offer accommodation for long contracts.

Teaching would require professionals from native English speaking countries preferably, while training and working requires someone with a wide range of experience in a certain field, to bring additional world-class standard know-how to China's entire generation of young professionals.

We offer to assist you in your search to get away from the boredom of staying at home. Why don't you spend 6 months or 1 year with us?
Contribute your knowledge, learn a new culture, develop new friendships, gain new experience or travel China's 9.6 million square kilometers of vast lands during summer and winter vacations!

Program options

China Education Exchange is offering three different options under Retiree Program:

Program A -FREE-
Retirees, interested in teaching, can apply directly through the schools database available on the web site (Schools available section). Contact us to know which school you are willing to work for and we will match you immediately. This is a free service without any costs.
However, please notice that not all available teaching positions are shown in this web site. This program is especially designed for native English speakers or other people who have some experience teaching or living in China.
For your interest, we can offer Airport pick-up, discounted hotel accommodation and other services at very competitive prices.
Under this program, in the event that you encounter any misundertanding with your host institution, China Education Exchange cannot mediate on your behalf.

Program B -Using China Education Exchange services-
China Education Exchange will help you to find the best teaching position, according to your requests, preferences and needs. Our organization maintains a strong relationship with a wide range of schools, colleges and universities all around China. Using our services (placement, orientation, counseling and so on) will help you to find a better assignment. If you choose this option, our organization will act as your representative in China.
Application fee: USD85 (USD35 refundable when teacher arrives to China).

Program C -For non-native English speakers-
If you are really motivated in teaching English in China but you are not from English speaking countries such as USA, Canada, UK, Australia or New Zealand; put in touch with China Education Exchange and let us know about you. We can help you! Because of the difficulties of finding schools which accept non-native English speakers, we have to charge USD300 although we will refund you USD200 if we cannot find a position within the next 6 months.

In addition:

1. 3-days Orientation Fee of USD 300. You will receive a package containing useful information about China and teaching tool packets during the Orientation Period. Your hotel accommodation, meals and airport pick-up will be provided. This is due prior to your arrival to China.
We strongly recommend you the 3-days orientation, if this is your first time in China.
2. Continued Network Support Fee of USD 500 / year. This is an optional service which contains: continued assistance, China Education Exchange mediation when necessary, bulletins, newsletters to keep informed our teachers in China and so on.
