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
Language 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

Recent JET alumni will speak about their experiences and the JET
Program Coordinator will provide information on the application
process for positions that start in the summer of 2013.
