For JET Programme participants and alumni looking to take the next step in their career, CLAIR provides opportunities for networking with alumni, learning about occupations and fields in which alumni are active, meeting with organisations interested in hiring JET Programme participants, and exploring ways to utilize one’s experience on the Programme in one’s career.
Upon finishing the Programme, many participants decide to pursue careers outside of Japan. CLAIR hosts the annual After JET Conference (AJC), where JET alumni who have made successful careers outside of Japan country speak and offer advice as career consultants.
In recent years, CLAIR has also increased support for JET Programme participants seeking employment in Japan through career fairs and an internship programme run in cooperation with Japanese companies, as well as the Career Vision Seminar where JET participants can learn how to utilise their experience on the programme in their future career. This is part of CLAIR’s mission as a Japanese government-affiliated organisation to support the government’s current economic policies, and to encourage JET participants to continue to work and thrive in Japan.
CLAIR seeks to continue to receive input from JET Programme participants as well as draw on the expertise of alumni and professionals to further expand its career support initiatives, with the ultimate goal of attracting even more excellent individuals to participate in the Programme.
