A great experience - Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) JET Program Employee Review

Great entry point into Japan Positively affect lives of students Sharpen communication skills

No real growth within company aside from CIR role

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.
