My niece who just graduated college leaves tomorrow for Tokoyo. She will be there 3 days for Orientation into the JET Programme then she will be given her destination at the end of the orientation. She will be working with Japanese teachers, teaching them English, while they teach her Japanese. She will be in Japan for a year, and then her contract will be up and she will either be asked to stay on, or she will just come back home and go on to other pursuits. She is really excited about this new adventure with the Japanese Exchange and Teaching Programme. I have been reading up on it and they are allowed to stay as long as three years than they are asked to leave or to join the team that puts this programme together.
