Staying Connected

One of the best things about the JET Programme is our vibrant global community, numbering over 79,000 alumni all over the world! At CLAIR, we are always looking for JET alumni who are interested in participating in CLAIR-organised events to support current JET Programme participants. In the past, JET alumni have contributed by providing career support to current JETs, serving as speakers or instructors at various conferences, and cooperating with CLAIR to publish articles in one of CLAIR’s various publications.

Many current JET Programme participants face challenges when deciding on their post-JET career paths and would greatly benefit from the opportunity to speak with JET alumni who have successfully built careers in fields current participants are interested in. The opportunity to speak with JET alumni can help current participants determine whether a similar career might be a good fit or not and ultimately help them solidify their post-JET career path. Additionally, JET alumni with in-demand skills, regardless of their current country of residence, may be invited to speak at both in-person and online conferences throughout Japan, as well as be showcased in some official CLAIR publications.

If you would like to share your experiences and expertise to help current JETs on their journeys both on the programme and beyond in their post-JET careers, please consider registering yourself in the JET Alumni Database below!

The information you provide will be carefully managed by CLAIR. Individuals with relevant backgrounds will be contacted directly regarding future trainings, events, and publications. Please note that registration does not guarantee a request to serve as a lecturer or speaker. Your personal information will be used exclusively by CLAIR and will not be shared with any third parties.

We also encourage you to check out your local JETAA chapter to learn more about ways to get involved with your local JET community.
