Founded in 1987, the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program has sent more than 60,000 global participants — including an estimated 32,000 Americans — to work in schools, boards of education, and government offices throughout Japan.
JET is the only teaching exchange program that is managed by the government of Japan and works with more than 40 countries around the world, allowing young professionals to live and work in cities, towns and villages throughout Japan.
The JET Program typically receives 4,000-5,000 applications each year from U.S. applicants alone, according to the JET Program’s official website, and in 2016, Andres Marrero, an Asian studies major with a Japan area focus, submitted his own application and applied to the Assistant Language Teachers position.
