Aaron Miller (Ehime, 2002–2008) will lead our 2026 Q3 Career Coaching cohort with the theme Find Where You Thrive, introducing the “intentional outsider” framework to help JETs use their cross-cultural experience to evaluate workplaces, identify opportunities, and build a more intentional career path.

Explore how entrepreneurship can help you test career paths after JET, build experience, and gain skills. Join us online with JET alum Daniel Lowe to learn simple, actionable strategies you can use right away.

For the second installment of our Career Coaching Series, Kristy Ishii (Gunma, 2016-2018) will lead Define Your Career Direction, a workshop designed to help turn a nonlinear path into a more strategic next step, grounded in clarity, market awareness, and decisive action.

For our first-ever installment of the Career Coaching Collective, the topic is “The AI Career Advantage,” led by Tsehay Wright (Nagano, 2015–2017). This series is designed to take participants from an “overwhelmed applicant” to a more strategic candidate.

The job market has evolved, and this series emphasizes that your search strategy needs to evolve with it rather than relying on AI to “write for you”.
