Rewarding cultural exchange but distant from family - Assistant Language Teacher (ALT) bei JET Program: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Great entry point into Japan Positively affect lives of students Sharpen communication skills

No real growth within company aside from CIR role

JETs have support from CLAIR , their Board of Education, and local AJET chapters. CLAIR provides training, orientations, and even funding for teaching certifications.

Some ALTs co-teach actively and feel valued; others get stuck reading from a script. Your school, co-workers, and Board of Education make a big difference.
