Positions
ALTs: Assistant Language Teachers work in public schools supporting Japanese teachers of English. Beyond using their native English ability to improve students’ English fluency, they also serve as cultural ambassadors in their local communities. ALTs make up 90% of all JET Program participants.
CIRs: Coordinators for International Relations work in local government offices promoting internationalization efforts in the community. From organizing events to teaching adult education classes, CIRs provide essential services to Japanese and foreign residents alike. Advanced Japanese language ability is required for the CIR position.
