The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Programme, is aimed at promoting grass-roots international exchange between Japan and other nations. An important role of the JET participants is to interact with local communities to promote internationalization at the local level.
JET Programme participants from Switzerland are employed as one of the following positions: Assistant Language Teacher (ALT), or Coordinator for International Relations (CIR).
Participants to the JET Programme must hold at least a Bachelor‘s degree. Japanese language skills are an advantage for ALTs and a must for CIRs.

Participating in extra-curricular activities with students
