Life on JET

There are currently around 400 UK graduates participating on the 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 Japan, but JET experiences vary widely according to the interests and approach of each participant, as well as their placement type and location.
