    JET Alums Run Thriving Translation/Consulting Business in…..Kentucky?

    By most assumptions, Georgetown, KY, would not necessarily be the first place you’d expect to find a colony of JET alums. And yet. The town 20 minutes north of Lexington, in the center of the horse and bourbon country, is home to four ex-JETs working under the same roof.

    Peter Purins (Toyama-ken, 2000-03), Zach Graham (Niigata-ken, 1999-2000) and Roy Harrison (Saitama, 2004-07) all work at Consultant Solutions, Inc. (CSI), itself run by a JET alum: Thad Johnson (Hyogo, 2000-1). The 18 person company, covering Canada, Japan, KY, TX, MS, AL, IN and OH, works with Japanese firms looking to strengthen their positions and capabilities in the North American market. They consult in three fields: language training, translation, and technical support.

    Thad acquired the company in 2005, and brought in Roy from Vermont, Zach from New Mexico, and Peter from Australia/Okinawa in 2008. Together they provide translation and technical services to firms in the automotive manufacturing industry.

    Why so many JETs? In part because they’re a known quantity. Beyond just the competitiveness of acceptance into the JET Program guaranteeing a certain caliber of person and familiarity with Japanese, many of the values of the program are important in the business world, including a person’s flexibility, cooperative spirit and international awareness.

    FYI, CSI’s always looking for new talent, and they’ve just posted some new open positions. Take a look at these recent CSI job openings posted on JetWit and see if you might be a good fit.
