Career, Networking Comments Off on New LinkedIn Group: Monbusho English Fellows (MEFs)

Thomas Schalow has set up a LinkedIn group for Monbusho English Fellows (MEFs).  MEFs were the forerunners to JETs, and from JetWit’s perspective, are part of the JET alumni community.

A little MEF background from Thomas:  “The number of MEFs was small. In my year, 1980, for example, there were only 12 MEFs for all of Japan. The program did not run that many years before it morphed into the JET program, so there may be only 100 or so of these MEFs out there.”
