** This opportunity is actually for high school students, but I thought it was worth sharing with the JETwit Jobs group. – Steven**
Program Overview:
A reminder that the 2013 JET Memorial Invitation Program (JET-MIP) deadline is Wednesday, April 17. Please let any high school students you know who may be interested in applying. The exchange program, now in its third year, was created to honor the memory of the two JETs who lost their lives in the 3/11 disaster.
All candidates should complete the National Japanese Exam by April 10, which is a requirement to apply. If you have any questions, please make sure to contact the 2013 JET-MIP Coordinator at the link below.
JET-MIP will provide 32 high school students with the opportunity to visit Japan for two weeks, with a focus on the Tohoku region, to participate in exchanges with Japanese students, see the current condition of recovery in the region, and to act as symbolic bridges to enhance the goodwill between Japan and the United States.
