Irish JET Alumni Association (IJET)

 

What is IJET?

 

IJET is the Irish chapter of the JET Alumni Association (JETAA), an organisation for ex-participants of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme all over the world.

 

IJET aims to maintain and develop interest in Japan and Japanese culture amongst former JET participants. Specifically, we aim to provide a social network for ex-JETs living in Ireland; organise social and cultural events of interest to ex-JETS and interested friends; assist the Embassy of Japan in promoting the JET Programme and its ideals; and establish connections with the Japanese community in Ireland.

 

All ex-JETs are considered members of IJET, but if you would like to get involved in IJET events or even organise some yourself please e-mail us at jetaaireland@gmail.com or visit our website www.ijetaa.wordpress.com or join us on Facebook. We’d be delighted to hear from you!
