Q&A Sessions for 2020 & 2021 Departing JET Participants

The JET Program Alumni Association of the Southeast (JETAASE) and the Consulate General of Japan in Atlanta hosts a Q&A Session for Departing JET Participants annually. This workshop is planned for you by alumni and covers information that can help you make the most of your last month before departure.  

JETAASE is a volunteer-run organization that provides a community of support and networking opportunities for JET Program alumni who live in the southeastern U.S. While our main activities are geared towards alumni, part of JETAASE’s mission is to assist in preparing future JETs for life and work in Japan.

We would like to congratulate and welcome you to the JET Program. We are excited about your impending departure on a journey that will positively impact your life for years to come.

Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This year, the sessions will be held entirely online.
