JET stands for the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme and is also commonly used to refer to individuals currently participating in the program.
This international educational exchange initiative aims to dispatch native English speakers to Japanese schools to enhance English education and promote international understanding.
The JET Programme includes various roles such as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs), Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs), and Sports Exchange Advisors (SEAs). Participants play a crucial role in supporting English education, conducting cultural exchange activities, and fostering community engagement in Japanese schools and local communities.
