Life on JET

There are currently more than 1000 UK graduates taking part in JET Programme. The range of their experiences is enormous, with placements in every region of Japan. The principles and goals of The JET Programme are the same throughout but JET experiences vary widely according to the interests and approach of each participant, as well as the type and location of their placement.

JET Impressions

In 2005 we asked two JET Participants to give us their impressions mid-way into their first year.
