Teach English in Japan with JET ~ Info Session on 9/22 @ 12pm

Interested in teaching and working in Japan
after graduation?

Come find out about the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme, a Japanese government program aimed at promoting grassroots international exchange.  JET offers two types of positions: Assistant Langauge Teachers (ALT) who help teach English in primary and secondary schools, and Coordinator of International Relations (CIR) who help coordinate international programs in city and town halls throughout Japan.  Japanese language is NOT required for most positions.
