Program Description
Jet Programme: Teach English in Japan
Description
The JET Programme, started in 1986, is the first and longest running government program which brings English teachers to Asia. Teachers who join the JET Program will enjoy teaching English in Japan through a stable program run by the Japanese government. As a reflection of the quality of the program, the majority of teachers stay well beyond their initial first year.
JET teachers can submit location preferences, but specific requests are not guaranteed. Most JET teachers are placed in a small or medium sized city. The goal of the program is cultural exchange. Placement in a smaller or mid-sized city will allow you the opportunity to learn more Japanese! Teachers will earn approximately 3.6 million Yen per year (approximately $45,000 USD, depending on the exchange rate). This is more than enough for teachers to live comfortably during their year (or more) teaching English in Japan. Apply to teach English in Japan through the JET Program today.
Qualifications
JET Program participants are required to have a Bachelor's Degree from one of the countries JET recruits in. For more detailed requirement information, see the JET website.

There can be a lot of free time as an assistant language teacher in rural Japan, but if you use that time to your advantage (i.e., studying the language/local culture, interacting with your colleagues and students) you returns will be tenfold.
