JET Programme Official
The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme invites overseas youth to work in local governments as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs), Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs) and Sports Exchange Advisors (SEAs).
Administered through the collaboration of 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 (CLAIR), the Programme has gained high acclaim for being one of the world’s largest international exchange programmes.
JETプログラムは、「語学指導等を行う外国青年招致事業」(The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme)の略称で、地方自治体が総務省、外務省、文部科学省及び一般財団法人自治体国際化協会(CLAIR)の協力の下に実施しています。
JETプログラムは主に海外の青年を招致し、「外国語指導助手(ALT)」、「国際交流員(CIR)」と「スポーツ国際交流員(SEA)」として国際交流の業務と外国語教育に携わることにより、地域レベルでの草の根の国際化を推進することを目的としています。世界最大規模の人的交流プログラムとして各方面から高く評価されており、このプログラムに係わる日本の各地域の人々と参加者が国際的なネットワークをつくり、国際社会において豊かな成果を実らせることが期待されています。
