1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The
Japan Exchange & Teaching (JET) Program
invites young college and university graduates
from overseas to participate in international
exchange and foreign language education throughout
Japan.
Begun in 1987 with fewer than 900
participants, the JET Program has grown
tremendously. Today, the program is one of
Japan's largest cultural exchange programs. In
2011, 4,330 participants
are taking part in the program from 39 different
countries. Nearly half of these participants
are from the United States.
Participants are invited to Japan as representatives
of their home countries, and play an important
role in promoting mutual understanding between
nations. Although no prior teaching experience
and no prior Japanese-language skills are necessary
(for the ALT position), successful JET Program
applicants must have a strong sense of responsibility,
a genuine interest in learning about Japan,
and must be able to adapt to a different culture
and new situations.
