Life After JET
Life After JET was a monthly column about what happens after you leave the JET Programme bubble. The column was started in 2010 and profiled former-JETs in a wide range of jobs to give current and departing JETs a better idea of what lies ahead. JETwit now provides this column while AJET is working on a brand new initiative—Spotlight on JETAA—to bring you news on what great things you can get involved in once leaving JET through JETAA.
