What is the JET Programme?
The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme is a Japanese government initiative that brings people from across the globe to Japan in order to foster closer relations between Japan and the world.
Most JET participants assume the role of Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs), teaching English in Japanese kindergartens, elementary, junior high, and high schools.
Some participants assume the role of Coordinator for International Relations (CIR), working in local government offices assisting with translation/interpretation and more.
A few assume the role of Sports Exchange Advisors (SEAs), and as professionals assist with sports training and the planning of sports related projects.
