This event is for University of Plymouth students only.
Do you want to teach English in Japan? To find out how, join this official Embassy of Japan presentation.
The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme is the official Japanese government scheme aiming to improve foreign language teaching in Japanese schools and to promote international understanding.
If you are selected, you'll be engaged on a one-year contract (possibilities to extend) as an Assistant Language Teacher in a state school or education centre. You'll earn a full salary as you live and work in Japan, be flown out to Japan and back, and meet other JET participants from over 40 countries.
You'll need a bachelors degree, but Japanese language skills and prior teacher training are not required though they can be useful. This is a highly competitive programme, and is very highly regarded on your CV.
The online session comprises a 30–40 minute presentation followed by a short Q&A session. Former participants on the JET Programme will be presenting, so this is an excellent opportunity to find out more about life in Japan and learn about the programme first hand.
Join us to find out more and have any questions answered that you may have or contact ukjet@ld.mofa.go.jp for further information.
If you are shortlisted for interview, and would like to discuss your interview, please contact Dr Darren Aoki (former JET interview panellist) to arrange a time to chat: darren.j.aoki@plymouth.ac.uk
