What is AJET?

The Association for Japan Exchange and Teaching (AJET) is a volunteer organization of JET Programme participants. AJET serves the JET community by building support networks, organizing useful information, and offering resources to enhance the lives of the Programme participants in Japan and abroad.

National AJET is run by an elected committee of current JETs from around Japan.  Their main purpose is to represent the opinions and concerns of the JET community to governing bodies such as the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR).

National AJET also runs the AJET Peer Support Group, the AJET Connect Magazine, and more. Check out their website at https://ajet.net/ for more information.
