Tohoku Discussion Raises Awareness
On December 2nd, 2011, JETAA Toronto hosted a Speaker Series event at the Japan Foundation which focused around a panel of individuals that have experienced the disaster and its aftermath first hand.
JETAA was fortunate enough to have a total panel of 6 individuals, 2 of them joined us live via Skype from Japan.
Our 2011 Career And Re-entry Conference Report
As another year comes to a close, a new crop of JETs have returned to Toronto and were welcomed home with open arms at the JETAA Toronto 2011 Career and Re-entry Conference on November 12th. The Japan Foundation once again hosted one of the year’s most important events, and a diverse range of speakers helped ease the re-integration process for new returnees.
Twelve participants came out on that Saturday morning and met with JETAA Toronto members, networked, listened to interesting presentations and had a delicious bento that must have made a few of them natsukashii.
