About JET 

The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET), Programme invites university graduates from overseas to participate in international exchange and foreign language education throughout   Japan.

Established in 1987, the programme has earned a high reputation, both in Japan and overseas, for its efforts in youth and cultural    exchanges, and has become one of the largest exchange programmes in the world.

JETs from over 50 countries have participated in the programme since its inception in 1987, with Jamaica joining the programme in 2000.  To date, some 41 Jamaicans have joined the JET programme serving in local government organizations as well as in primary, junior high and senior high schools.
