After remarks from the Consul General and others, the returnees were able to mingle with other guests and share their experiences in Japan. They were also able to meet with representatives from Japanese businesses interested in hiring candidates like the JET returnees who have a deep understanding of Japanese culture and society as well as Japanese language proficiency.
