Congratulations to everyone who applied to the JET Program 2024 application! If you missed the deadline (for your consulate) or weren’t able to apply, better luck next year. The application takes a lot of dedication and energy to submit. It’s understandable if you missed out or your feel application wasn’t the best… Luckily, other companies, such as ALTIA CENTRAL are accepting overseas applicants for Spring 2024. Even if you missed the JET deadline, there are always other opportunities for teaching in Japan!

I, your sempai, look forward to helping all aspiring 2024 JET Programme ALTs and CIRs. I can’t wait to help those interested in making a difference overseas in Japan!

Making content isn’t easy and takes a lot of time. Every week, I want to contribute something new to the community that encourages others to become teachers abroad! Many of you, my “students”, have become ALTs abroad and I am proud of you for that. Please continue encouraging others and spreading awareness of Japan, its culture, and its amazing people.

JET Program Guide is not affiliated with the Official JET Programme. We are huge supporters and love the opportunity to give back to the ALT community!
