Pre-Departure Resources
Help for your next big adventure
Every year, JETAANY members assist The Consulate General of Japan in New York in helping prepare new JETs for their departure to Japan. Our alum give presentations on a range of topics, which can be found below. Whether you’ll be living in the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, or with the gorgeous vistas of the inaka, our aim for our presentations is to help no matter what your placement is.
Below are links to the most recent Pre-Departure Seminar powerpoint presentations, along with resources when available.
