The Career Vision Conference (CVC), formerly known as the After JET Conference (AJC), is hosted annually to provide future career guidance to all JET Programme participants. By providing information about possible future career paths open to JET Programme participants, CLAIR aims to enrich their lives after they finish their time on the programme. The conference will consist of panel discussions with JET alumni and professionals working in various fields both within and outside of Japan, such as education, translation and interpretation, travel and tourism, education, and many others.
Attendance at the CVC is optional.
Some of the presentation materials from the latest conferences will be posted to this page for those JET Programme participants who cannot attend CVC (see below)
