JET (Japan Exchange & Teaching)Program



This program enables local authorities to employ foreign youth asAssistant English Language Teachers (ALT’s) for Japanese students from Elementary to High School Level. Currently, the program invites over 6,000 participants from 41 countries each year, making it one of the largest cultural exchange programs in the world!

 

In addition to being proficient in the English language, prospective ALT’s should be interested in Japan’s rich culture, and should also be willing to promote international exchange at the community level.
Nationals of Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados are eligible to apply for this program.
