The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme
The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme invites third level graduates from overseas to participate in international exchange and foreign language education throughout Japan. Established in 1987, JET has become one of the largest exchange programmes in the world.
The JET Programme is implemented by local authorities within Japan, in cooperation with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (the Three Ministries), and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR).
Since Ireland became a participating country in 1988, over 1,400 Irish people have contributed to and enjoyed the programme. 120 Irish JETs are currently living and working in Japan.
