The Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme seeks to enhance internationalisation in Japan by promoting mutual understanding between the people of Japan and those of other nations. The Programme aims to enhance foreign language education, and promote international exchange at the local level through the fostering of ties between Japanese youth and foreign youth alike.
The objectives of the Programme are being achieved by offering JET Programme participants the opportunity to serve in local authorities as well as public and private elementary, junior high and senior high schools in Japan.
Recruitment for the 2020 Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme is currently underway. This past summer there were 49 participants from British Columbia, including thirteen former students from the University of British Columbia.
