JCC E-Magazine November 2017

The audience listening to the information session.

We had the pleasure of hosting members from JET Alumni Association (JETAA) Singapore as well as ex-JET participants for the JET Programme Information Session 2017 at the Japan Creative Centre (JCC) on Friday, 6th October 2017. The briefing was well-attended by many who came to learn more about the Japan Exchange & Teaching (JET) Programme, and the experiences of those who have been on this unique programme. Representatives from The Embassy of Japan and CLAIR Singapore also provided useful information about the outline of the JET Program and the application process. The audience learned about the varied experiences that the ex-JET participants had while working as ALT (Assistant Language Teacher) or CIR (Coordinators for International Relations) in vastly different regions of Japan.

The audience also had the opportunity to interact with the presenters and former participants to clarify any questions they might have about the JET programme. The application for the 2018 JET Programme is currently open from now till 17th November 2017. For those who missed the session but would like to find out more, kindly visit here for more information on the application process: http://www.sg.emb-japan.go.jp/itpr_en/culture_jet.html
