• Those interested in foreign cultures, particularly Japan • Those who are adventurous and like to try new things • Those interested in teaching or working with children • Those who want to learn Japanese as a hobby or for career development • Those who want to work in an office environment different from the U.S. Q. What are the advantages of the JET Program as compared to other English teaching programs in Japan? Because it is sponsored by the Japanese government, the JET Program is extremely secure. In addition, government sponsorship means that JETs may be placed virtually anywhere in Japan, from the smallest island to the largest city (however, see below). Further, JET participants are a part of the Japanese community in which they live, so they are not merely outsiders looking in. Finally, JET participants enjoy the advantages of a large international network of alumni and alumni associations.
