Live, Work, Study in JAPAN
2020/3/14
On March 6, the Embassy of Japan and the Japan Exchange and Teaching Alumni Association (JETAA) of Ottawa co-organized an event entitled “Live, Work, Study in JAPAN!” The event provided information to the public about three people-to-people exchange programs facilitated through the government of Japan: the JET Programme, the MEXT Scholarship, and the Working Holiday.
Officials in charge of these programs from Japan and Canada gave presentations explaining the administrative aspect of the programs. This was followed by alumni of each program presenting their own experience.
After these informative presentations members of the public had the opportunity to chat at length with alumni of each program while enjoying Japanese food and drink.
