About JETAA

Sydney JETAA

Sydney JETAA is the alumni association for past participants in the JET Programme residing in Sydney and New South Wales. Our members include JET alumni who joined the programme from Sydney, as well as other JET participants who have moved to Sydney from other chapters. Our association is more than ten years old and currently has over 360 members.

Sydney JETAA plays a major role in a wide range of Japan-related activities. Working with the Consulate-General of Japan and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR), we promote and foster cultural exchange between Australia and Japan, conduct orientation sessions for new JET Programme participants prior to their departure for Japan, and provide support to recently returned JETs.

Sydney JETAA also conducts a variety of social events for its members during the year.

Sydney JETAA is sponsored by the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR), under the umbrella of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tokyo.

The JET Programme

The JET Programme aims to promote internationalisation in Japan at a local level, by inviting young graduates from abroad to assist with international exchange and foreign language education.

In Australia, the JET Programme is administered by the Embassy and Consulates-General of Japan, and by the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR).
