The JET Program Alumni Association
(JETAA)

JETAA (the JET Program Alumni Association), which is a self-supporting alumni association, was created to strengthen the bonds of friendship developed by former JET participants.  The group seeks to achieve and promote a broader and deeper understanding between Japan and the countries participating in the JET Program. JETAA continues to expand and currently is comprised approximately 24,000 members in 52 regional chapters in countries around the world. 

JETAA members contribute to the promotion and implementation of the JET Program by holding receptions and workshops for future JET participants, giving useful information on life in Japan and other important activities.  Many JETAA chapters also hold workshops for JET returnees to offer helpful information on readjusting to life at home and to offer career advice. More information about JETAA can be found at www.jetalumni.org.
