The JET (Japan Exchange and Teaching) Programme was established by the Japanese Government in 1987. The programme aims to encourage international exchange through fostering ties between Japanese and foreign youth.

The JET programme offers New Zealand citizens who hold a university degree or teaching qualification opportunities to serve in local government organizations as a Coordinator for International Relations (CIR) or teach at primary, junior high and senior high schools as an Assistant Language Teacher (ALT).
