BONDING AGREEMENT
Before they proceed on overseas training, all students have to sign a Bonding Agreement, which specifies the cost of their training and the length of time that they will have to work for the country/Government/specified organisations upon their return.
This agreement is a guarantee for the Government to ensure that students do return to give back to the country what has been invested in their training. In cases of default legal action is initiated against the students and/or their guarantors.
The maximum bonding term is five years. Students who opt for fields determined to be priority areas are bonded for five years. This is to ensure a continuous supply of manpower until the demand in those fields is exhausted.
