What is expected of JET Programme participants?
While each position on the Programme is a job, it is also much more than that. JET participants are asked to be cultural ambassadors, a role that extends far beyond the 9 to 5 work day. They must constantly be aware of their behaviour and make an effort to adapt to the Japanese way of doing things. Participants are expected to take an active role in the community, which may include staying late at school to help with a club or sport, volunteering with local groups and participating in community events.
