About the Niigata JET Programme
The Niigata JET Programme is the prefectural entity that is separated from the Niigata City JET Programme. Excluding Niigata City, you can either be a Municipal ALT or a Prefectural ALT as stated in regular JET Programme guidelines. The Niigata City JET Programme is separate to the Niigata JET Programme due to Niigata City’s classification being a “Designated City.” What that means is that Niigata City can operate independently from Niigata Prefecture in a variety of ways, with the JET Programme being one of them.

While there is a separation with how Niigata City officially conducts their JET Participants, all JET Programme participants are members of, and can participate in Niigata AJET.
