Pre-Departure Reception for 2025 JET Programme Participants
2025/6/23
On 23 June, the Embassy of Japan in the UK hosted a pre-departure reception for the 2025 JET Programme participants.
In his remarks, Ambassador Hiroshi Suzuki mentioned that the JET Programme had played a hugely important role in contributing to the friendship between our countries. Furthermore, he offered his encouragement to the gathering of eager young people who were about to leave for Japan and urged each of them to engage deeply with Japan’s society, culture and people in their local community, and to act as bridge between Japan and the UK.
This summer, some 170 JET participants will depart for Japan, where they will work as Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) in schools or as Coordinators for International Relations (CIRs) in local governments throughout the country.
