Office Hours
USJETAA and JETAA USA co-hosted four free, drop-in virtual Office Hours for Aspiring JETs in October 2024. These sessions were designed to support aspiring JETs by offering them the opportunity to chat with a diverse panel of JET alumni, hear about their perspectives and experiences, and ask all the questions they were curious about.
Our 2024 Office Hours have concluded. The next Office Hours will be held in the fall of 2025. Please check back later for exact dates and times.
JET Program Coordinators and a diverse panel of alumni share their experiences and answer your questions about the JET Program. Whether you're actively considering applying or just exploring your options, this 90-minute session is designed to provide you with the personal insight and practical guidance to take the next step.
The next virtual info sessions will be in April and June 2025.
*We invite any JET alumni who are interested in sharing their experiences to apply to be a panelist for these sessions. It’s a wonderful way to give back to the community and help guide the next generation of JET participants. If you’re interested in being a panelist, please submit your information here.
