JET PROGRAM INFORMATION SESSION
Thursday, November 3, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
Career Development Center: 625 N. Jordan Ave.

The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program aims to promote grass roots internationalization at the local level by inviting young overseas graduates to assist in international exchange and foreign language education in local governments, boards of education and elementary, junior and senior high schools throughout Japan. It seeks to foster ties between Japanese citizens (mainly youth) and JET participants at the person-to-person level.

The JET Program enables local authorities (prefectures, designated cities and other municipalities) to employ foreign youth for the purpose of improving foreign language education as well as promoting international exchange at the local level. By teaching foreign languages at schools nationwide and assisting with international exchange activities organized by local authorities, participants engage in international exchange on a variety of levels with local residents. In this way, the Program is expected to increase cross-cultural understanding as well as contribute to internationalization efforts within Japan.

Registration required through your myIUcareers account.
