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 throughout Japan.  Japanese language is NOT required for most positions.
Short video clips of JET participants from around the world speaking about their experiences will be available.  The JET Program Coordinator will provide information on the application process for positions that start in the summer of 2014.  Application is currently open and is due November 26.
