Besides the pre-departure orientation, the Embassy and Consulates General host their own trainings, such as workshops or Q&A sessions presented by local JET alumni for new JET Program participants in the summer before departure.
After departure, all new JET participants will attend Tokyo Orientation before traveling to their placements. Prefectural JET associations will typically host an orientation for new JETs shortly after their arrival, and they may also organize a skills development conference for all JETs in that prefecture later in the year.
