2025-2026 PA Case Studies (English)

Prefectural Advisors (PAs) play an essential role in the JET Programme support structure, offering advice and assistance to their peers. These case studies are a new initiative designed to give JET-PAs a look into projects that their fellow PAs have been involved in. Although the circumstances of each prefecture and designated city vary considerably, we hope that these case studies can be a source to reference when looking for more ways to support your fellow JET Programme participants.

About the PA Networking Exchange

We hold a monthly online Networking Exchange for all JET-PA members active within their respective host prefectures/designated cities. This provides a space for consultation and discussion regarding questions and challenges encountered in daily PA duties.

Details regarding participation methods are notified to coordinating organisations at the start of each academic year. Furthermore, monthly reminders are sent to the email addresses of PAs registered on the coordinating organisation roster.
