The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program aims to strengthen Japan's internationalization through fostering understanding between Japanese and individuals from other countries. Through the development of relationships between young people from Japan and other countries, the program aims to improve foreign language instruction and advance international interchange at the local level.
By giving JET Program participants the chance to work with local governments as well as public and private elementary, junior high, and senior high schools in Japan, the program's goals are met.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations, the Program is carried out by local authorities and other organizations that designate Participants (CLAIR).
With the assistance of participating countries' governments, the Program was launched in 1987. Since then, more than 70,000 individuals from 75 different nations have taken part in the program.
Typically, Participants are hired as staff members for the Program for a duration of one year by prefectures, municipalities, private schools, etc. Through the Contracting Organization where the Participant is appointed, the tax payers of Japan will pay for the Participant's travel expenses from their country of origin to Japan as well as their compensation. Participants are expected to follow rules and act appropriately because they work for their Contracting Organizations as civil servants and teachers in private schools.
