Acting Consul General Kishimori gave opening remarks and participants watched video messages from the JET Alumni Association of Northern California and Nevada (JETAANC) and the Association for Japan Exchange and Teaching (AJET). After arriving in Japan, the new JET Program participants will start working as Assistant Language Teachers or Coordinators for International Relations at schools and governmental offices.

Program participants serve as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs), Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs) or Sports Exchange Advisors (SEAs). Since the start of the program in 1987, more than 70,000 people from 75 countries have participated.
