The best place to start is the local Japanese Consulate, where you can obtain an application and information about the JET Program in general.

We encourage you to attend events sponsored by the Consulate and/or JETAANC. Many JETAANC Alumni assist with recruitment at local Universities and also conduct applicant interviews each year.
