ALT Experience - Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) JET Program Employee Review

Good salary compared to other ALT positions Good benefits

Where you are placed is completely random, and your benefits are subject to what your CO decides, which could be good or bad depending on placement.

JETs have support from CLAIR , their Board of Education, and local AJET chapters. CLAIR provides training, orientations, and even funding for teaching certifications.

Some ALTs co-teach actively and feel valued; others get stuck reading from a script. Your school, co-workers, and Board of Education make a big difference.
