Hi,
My partner and I wanted to go teaching in Taiwan for 12 months but he is now getting worried as he is currently training to be an art teacher and is worried if he leaves after only teaching Art for 1 year he will struggle to get a job when he returns to the UK. Advice he has received from someone on his course used the phrase 'career suicide.' Does anyone have any experience of similar situations?
cheers

I disagree with Sally. A year or two abroad is a great experience, but it will almost certainly set back your career in the UK. That is the choice you have to make. The days of employers being impressed by people living abroad are long gone.
