Our
programs outside of the USA are now under the umbrella
of our new non- profit organization: ASSOCIATION
OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND EXCHANGE.
AIDE
was created in 2007 in order to allow Alliance Abroad
Group to expand its reach and to give back to the
local and global communities, as well as create socially
responsible citizens. AIDE now operates independently
from Alliance Abroad Group, but continues to draw
from its 16 years of expertise and experience in program
management and support.

For semester or year long positions, you will be paid
between $3000 - $5000 RMB (approximately USD$ 372

free accommodations and sometimes partial board. Many
schools help reimburse part of your airline ticket

For summer session positions, you will receive free

with your school to provide you with the documentation
needed to obtain your visa. The process can take up
to two months. You will need to apply for a work visa
at your nearest Chinese consulate in your home country.
It is important to apply early enough to allow for
visa processing. The Alliance Abroad Group will assist
you in the process though we can never guarantee a
visa, as it is issued by the Chinese government.
