About the JET Programme

Now in its 24th year, the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) programme has placed over 50,000 participants from over 50 countries in positions throughout Japan. The JET Programme, an official Japanese Government scheme, sends graduates to promote international understanding at a grass-roots level and to improve foreign language teaching in schools.

University Promotions

Every autumn the JET Programme UK visit a number of university campuses across the UK to give presentations about working and living in Japan as a JET participant. A link to the 2010 promotions calendar will be posted here later in the year.

Be the face of JET!

The UK JET Programme is looking for people who have returned from JET and are interested in promoting the Programme. We are looking for written accounts and photographs of life on JET, especially photos of JETs 'in action'. Please contact us at info@jet-uk.org to find out more.
