JET PROGRAMME: Japan Exchange & Teaching Programme

"Joining the JET Programme was the best decision I could have made..."

Now in its 22nd year the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) programme has placed over 44,000 participants from over 44 countries into positions in Japan. The JET Programme, the official government scheme, sends graduates to promote international understanding at a grass-roots level and to improve foreign language teaching in schools. 

The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme is an official Japanese Government scheme to improve foreign language teaching in schools and to promote international understanding.

The programme was established in 1987, with 848 participants from four countries. Since then, the number of participants has increased more than six-fold: there are currently over 5800 graduates from 44 different countries on the programme.

The JET Programme represents one of the greatest initiatives in the field of human and cultural relations. Its expansion shows the Japanese Government's commitment to the programme and overwhelming support for the scheme at a local level.

There are two positions available for UK graduates on the JET Programme: Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) and Coordinator for International Relations (CIR).
