JET Info Sessions
JET Application Office Hours
2026 Office Hours Registration is now OPEN
USJETAA hosts free, drop-in virtual Office Hours for aspiring JETs. These informal, welcoming sessions are an opportunity to chat with JET alumni, hear about their perspectives and experiences and ask questions about the JET experience, application process and timeline.
We typically also have at least one JET Program Coordinator join us to answer technical questions about the application and departure process. There is no formal presentation and sessions are not recorded.
Have more questions after attending? New ones come up along the way? You are welcome to register for additional Office Hour sessions! Click on any of the dates below to register.
