Position: Head of Public Policy and Government Relations, Australia/New Zealand and Japan
Posted by: Japan Center for International Exchange
Location: Sydney, NSW, Australia
Contract: Full-Time

Here’s a job passed along to us by a JET alum that has no connection to the position:

“Head of Public Policy and Government Relations” position based in Sydney, Australia. They think it’ll be good for someone with JET experience who is also a lawyer or has a public policy, lobbying, or government relations background.

We are looking for a kind, smart, humble and experienced public policy professional that has a track-record within the APAC region. The ideal person will have a deep understanding of the public policy and regulatory environment, policy-making process and cultural nuances in Australia/New Zealand – and ideally Japan – combined with business acumen and product interest.

This is going to be a policy-entrepreneur based in Sydney (with the capacity to be in Japan or elsewhere in the region, as required), a self-starter but great collaborator – someone that will have to wear many hats and help Stripe navigate the environment in a diverse set of markets and help us and our customers/users expand across the APAC region.

Location: San Diego, Boston and Washington, DC areas, USA
Contract: Hourly

Here’s a job shared by USJETAA:

The Wa-Shokuiku Project is an initiative from TABLE FOR TWO USA (*). Wa-Shokuiku combines the Japanese words “Washoku” which refers to Japanese food and “Shokuiku” food education. It is a series of classes on Japanese food and food culture for American elementary and middle school-age students.  Our goal for the Wa-Shokuiku program is that students will be equipped with practical knowledge and skills regarding healthy eating, Japanese foodways, and best practices.  The objectives are (1) to expand students’ palates by teaching how to prepare tasty and healthy dishes using washoku preparation techniques, (2) include discussion about nutrition, manners, respect toward food and simple relevant Japanese words, and (3) introduce food related concerns, such as obesity and waste while discussing do-able daily actions inspired by shokuiku. Our instructors and volunteers will implement and teach the Wa-Shokuiku curricula in designated schools. The instructors will help to introduce children to a cuisine and culture, which many are learning about for the first time. TABLE FOR TWO USA is seeking Wa-Shokuiku instructors in the San Diego, Boston and Washington, DC areas.

Please view these 2 videos of recent programs in New York City and Washington, D.C. to give you an idea of how the program is run.
