Government Offices: Relations Cirs and Exchange Programs

government offices: Since its modest start in 1987, JET has grown into one of the world's largest international exchange programs, according to The Japan Times. Nearly 65,000 people from 65 countries have worked in Japan for up to five years under the project. The 2,000 young foreign workers making up the 31st wave of the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme JET have received their acceptance letters and are preparing for their arrival in July and August. Participants perform one of three roles. Coordinators for international relations CIRs have Japanese language proficiency and work in local government offices to assist with grass-root international activities. Assistant language teachers ALTs work in schools, team-teaching with a licensed teacher. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
