Welcome to the JET Mentor Network!

The JET Mentor Network is a network of present and past JET Programme participants interested in professional networking to gather career information, find a foothold for future employment, or simply seek a "senpai" for some advice. This web site offers registered users the opportunity to search a database of JET mentors, who are users themselves, in order to network with people working in a preferred job function, industry, etc. This page helps connect people of similar interests while, at the same time, building a bridge between present and past JET Programme participants.

As of February, 2000, there were over 10,000 registered JET Alumni Association members throughout the world, and the JET Programme currently hosts over 6,000 internationally minded people from the northern reaches of Hokkaido to the southern beaches of Okinawa. That's a community of 16,000+ that we hope to connect with this site. Yet, the strength of the Mentor Network is limited to number and activity of its participants, so we invite you to use this site, connect with other people, and strengthen the global JET community.

We hope that you enjoy this site and find it useful. If you have any comments or suggestions on how to improve this site, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you and ganbate ne!
