JET Program Info Session Announcement

Are you interested in living and working in Japan after graduation? If so, please join us for the JET Program Info Session (details below). The JET Program is a Japanese government program that hires recent college grads from around the world to work in Japan. There are two kinds of positions, you can apply for the ALT position if you want to teach English in public schools in Japan. If you have advanced Japanese skills, you can apply for the CIR position and work in a Japanese city hall or government office. The JET Program only accepts applications in the fall, and this year's deadline is Nov. 13, so if you're planning to apply, be sure to attend the Info Session!
