Horizons: Japan Career Series | April 2026

Have you ever wanted to get advice on how to continue your time in Japan after the JET Program? 

Whether you're mid-contract and dreaming about staying, freshly off JET and figuring out your next move, years out and still navigating life in Japan or an alum that is thinking about returning, you're not alone. More JET alumni than ever are choosing to put down roots in Japan, but the reality of making that work? Not always talked about openly.

That's exactly what this series is for. In partnership USJETAA and JETAA Tokyo are excited to offer a three-part series covering key aspects of living and working in Japan after JET. These sessions are designed for JETs and alumni who want to stay in Japan post-JET or return to Japan for professional opportunities. Attend any or all of these sessions to hear from experienced fellow JET alumni, universities, and career professionals. If you’re in the Tokyo area, join JETAA Tokyo for the in-person sessions to network and speak face-to-face with our panelists. This is a great way to explore remaining in Japan post-JET or returning to Japan for professional endeavors.
