The JET Programme • The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme, is aimed at promoting grass-roots international exchange between Japan and other nations. An important role of the JET participants is to interact with local communities to promote internationalization at the local level. • JET Programme participants from Switzerland are employed as one of the following positions: Assistant Language Teacher (ALT), or Coordinator for International Relations (CIR). • Participants to the JET Programme must hold at least a Bachelor‘s degree. Japanese language skills are an advantage for ALTs and a must for CIRs.

JET: Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) These participants are placed mainly in public schools or local boards of education. ALTs assist with classes taught by Japanese Teachers of English/Language (JTEs/JTLs) and are thus involved in the preparation of teaching materials and in extracurricular activities like English clubs or sports teams. Typical duties for an ALT: • Assisting with classes taught by JTEs/JTLs • Assisting in the preparation of teaching materials • Participating in extra-curricular activities with students

JET: Coordinator for International Relations (CIR) Applicants with a functional command of the Japanese language can apply to work as CIRs, assisting local government offices in international exchange activities.
