Whether you're a recently returned JET alum or making a career change, you may be at a crossroads as to your next steps and opportunities. This event will show how the skills you've acquired transfer to a new career, and how to network toward that end.


Join us Saturday, December 9th from 11 am-1 pm CST, for the virtual JETAA Chicago Career Development Workshop! If you are a JET alum currently navigating the job market after JET, considering switching careers, or just pondering what’s next for you, then your attendance is welcome! This event is intended to bring together JETAA members who are looking for career advice at all stages of their career trajectory.


Our speaker will be Kasia from Ikigai Connections (ikigaiconnections.com) who can answer your questions about advancing your professional plans.


The workshop will consist of presentations on Building a Japan-Related Career and Networking. The first ten people to sign up AND attend the event will receive a free 30-minute one-on-one session with Kasia free of charge on the topic of their choice.


Please join us for this free workshop providing invaluable advice to help advance your career after JET!

This event is for JET alumni only.
