On 21 November, the Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane hosted the JET Programme Returnees Networking Reception.
There were many JET alumni members, including not only new returnees but also JETAA QLD members, who deepened their friendships by talking about their experiences in Japan.
In addition to JET returnees, people from organisations with strong ties to Japan such as Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Brisbane, and Australia Japan Society Qld Inc, also participated in this reception, creating an opportunity for exchanges that would lead to the future success of JET returnees.
We hope that by continuing to hold these events, all returnees will continue to network and make the most of the knowledge gained through their JET Programme experiences in Japan, and that they will play an important role in further strengthening the relationship between Australia and Japan.
