\"\"<\/a>What does “Saving JET” have to do with joining your JET prefecture’s LinkedIn group?<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The biggest threat to JET (and JETAA) now is attrition at the local government level as prefectural governments increasingly choose to reduce costs by getting ALTs from dispatch companies rather than hiring JETs.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. The most effective way to counter this trend is to demonstrate a positive ROJ (“Return on JET-vestment”) at the local government level.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Local governments have expressed a strong interest in being able to connect and communicate with JET alumni who worked in their prefectures.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. JET Alumni have never been organized by prefecture….<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ……until now.\u00a0 So please do your part and sign up for your respective JET Alumni LinkedIn Group below.\u00a0 It’s one small act of giving back to your prefecture that can make a big difference over time.<\/p>\n
