Driving in Japan

Japanese Language Tips

The School Calendar
We also have a short guide for JETs, a distillation of sempai knowledge and experience: JETting Off - Our Guide for New JETs
HELPING EX-JETS SETTLE IN
We understand how difficult the transition can be when trying to settle back home. Please contact us anytime with what you're looking for.
We work together with CLAIR who host a yearly Careers Night to help create opportunities for Ex-JETs and anyone interested in a career with connections to Japan or Japanese companies.
CLAIR also provides career support resources on their website.
