JET Program Information Session (Chicago)

Interested in living and working in Japan? The Japan Exchange & Teaching (JET) Program could be for you! Founded in 1987, JET has sent more than 79,000 college graduates from around the globe (including more than 36,800 Americans) to work in schools, boards of education, and government offices throughout Japan.

During this free information session, JET Program Coordinators and JET alumni will present an overview of the JET Program, discuss their experiences on the program, and answer any questions you have. This is an excellent chance for those still working on the application to ask any questions, or for those planning to apply in the future to learn more about the JET Program. Please note that the deadline for the 2026 JET Program is November 14th, so make sure to start your application ahead of time if you plan on applying this fall!

Discounted parking stickers are available for those who use the Olympia Centre parking lot. The Japan Information Center is also easily accessible by public transportation.
