2019 JET Programme Pre-Departure Orientation

The 2019 JET Programme Pre-Departure Orientation was held on 6 July in Sydney, New South Wales. A representative from the Consulate-General congratulated the new JET participants on being successfully selected to join the Programme, and expressed his hope for the participants to play an active role during their time in Japan. The JET Programme Coordinator at the Consulate then gave an overview of the JET Programme, and details of the new JET participants’ departure to Japan. A CLAIR Sydney staff then explained CLAIR’s post-arrival support system in place for JET participants.

Following this, members of the NSW JET Alumni Association presented on the differences between the education systems and teaching methods of Australia and Japan. They also informed the new JET participants of daily life tips such as waste separation, how to open bank accounts and more. The new JET participants looked excited about their upcoming departure to Japan and asked many great questions.

The 28 new JET participants have already left for Japan. We hope that all new JET participants will not only gain an in-depth understanding of Japan, but also rediscover Australia through representing their home country abroad. We also hope that they will contribute to the exchange activities between Australia and Japan!
