The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme started in 1987, aiming to promote grass-roots international exchange between Japan and other nations. About 7,000 people have taken part in the programme from Australia and New Zealand so far.
On March 31, the JET programme pre-departure orientation for April arrivals was held at the consular office in Sydney.
Tomohiro Koike, our Assistant Director attended to give the participants some advice about the support system. Members of the JET Alumni Association NSW (JETAA NSW) also gave new participants helpful tips based on their experience in Japan.
We expect them to do great work and become bridges between Australia and Japan!
