Career Support

 
 

CLAIR provides career support for JET Programme participants and alumni who are preparing for the next step in their career. All the programmes are free to attend, and include internships, lectures, networking events and career fairs held in Tokyo and Osaka. The goal of these events is to encourage JETs to explore ways of leveraging the JET experience as well as the wider JET alumni network in their post-JET careers. Information on these programs will be provided to those eligible via CLAIR News or alumni outreach.
