On 10 March, Tomohiro Koike, our Assistant Director attended a Career Fair at the Griffith University Gold Coast to promote the JET Programme along with members of JETAA QLD. The JET Programme offers university graduates the opportunity to live and work in Japan for up to 5 years. After passing some selection criteria, JET participants are able to work in Japanese schools to assist language teachers (mainly English), or in Japanese local governments to become involved in their international-relations projects and so on.
Many students who were interested in Japan came and asked JETAA members about what they could expect from the JET Programme. Not only students who knew about the JET Programme dropped by to say hi, students who had no previous knowledge or interest in the programme also came by for a chat. We hope that more and more people want to become JET participants and do great things in Japan.
