The JET Programme: Our graduates have regularly been selected for the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme, a Japanese government-sponsored initiative that brings young professionals from around the world to Japan to work in schools and local governments. Established in 1987, the program promotes international exchange and mutual understanding between Japan and other countries. Participants typically spend one to five years living and working in Japan, teaching foreign languages or supporting international exchange activities in local communities. The experience provides valuable skills for careers in education, international relations, government, business, and translation. JET also has a strong global alumni network and serves as an excellent foundation for many career paths. The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program (JET)
