The Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program is operated by local authorities in conjunction with the Japanese Government and the Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (CLAIR).

There are three types of participation (* Please note that Belgian nationals are only eligible for a position of CIR as of now.):
CIRs (Coordinators for International Relations) who work in communities on international exchange activities.
