Open City Contracts
Occasionally a teacher wants to come during a certain term but all of the positions are filled. In these cases we can sometimes offer “open city” contracts. With these contracts we don’t assign you a city until most likely after you arrive in China. Most teachers under this contract will arrive in one of our larger cities for training, and will then be placed after that point in an Aston school that needs a teacher. The contract is exactly the same as a normal contract except no city is indicated initially.
