2009-2010 National AJET Surveys
May 7th

Dear JETs,
National AJET would like to invite you to take the “Making the Most of Your Time on JET” Survey! This Survey will be used to gather data on the JETs’ work experience during slow periods. It will be used in the future to give JETs greater opportunities to participate in community outreach, career development and internationalisation projects during hours unoccupied with work duties. Your input is vital to us, so please take 5 mintues out of your day to respond.
“CLAIR Publications – Digital or Paper?”
CLAIR is thinking about going eco by digitalising some of their publications. Please take a look at this survey and let us and CLAIR know what you think. It will only take a few minutes.
Thank you so much for supporting National AJET! Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and contribution!
Got thoughts on how to change the JET Programme?
Twice a year, CLAIR gives the JET community a valuable opportunity to present its ideas and concerns on how to improve the JET Programme. The best way to be a part of this important process and to ensure your voice is heard is by participating in the AJET surveys. Each survey should only take 5-10 minutes of your time and will be invaluable in the preparation of reports.
All personally identifying information will be kept strictly confidential.
For any questions or comments regarding the AJET surveys and reports, please contact Jennifer Park at chair@ajet.net.
