JET Programme coordinators also provided explanations regarding travel to Japan and important precautions. The CLAIR Sydney staff members explained the role of CLAIR in the JET Programme and the training and support we offer to them. Members of each JETAA chapters offered valuable information and advice on various aspects of life in Japan, including some tips for maintaining good health and well-being, managing financial matters, learning Japanese, and preparing for potential emergencies. Moreover, they introduced the array of activities that JETAA engages in and fostered connections with them to establish strong relationships.
