CLAIR hosts career fairs for JET participants in major cities in Japan with the cooperation of local and foreign chambers of commerce to respond to both the interests of JET Programme participants seeking employment in Japan and Japanese companies/organisations seeking multilingual, global personnel.
JET Programme Career Fairs are held by CLAIR annually between January and April. In addition, CLAIR supports other local governments in hosting career fairs for local companies, JET participants, and study abroad students.
As participation is voluntary, each participant must bear travel, accommodation, and other related costs of attending the career fair on their own. In addition, each JET participant who wishes to attend the career fair must obtain permission from their supervisor so that it does not interfere with their work duties. As a general rule, only JET participants in their final year of the Programme (participants who have submitted their reappointment paperwork indicating that they do not request reappointment) may participate. Former JET participants residing in Japan may also participate. (Former participants wishing to take part in the career fair should contact CLAIR by email at afterjet@clair.or.jp.)
The 2022 JET Programme Career Fairs have now concluded. Information about registration for the 2023 JET Programme Career Fairs will be sent directly to JET Programme participants via e-mail in December. Please make sure your contact information is up to date if you would like to receive an invitation.
