Fukushima New JET Orientation

Think you learned everything you possibily could and were all orientation-ed out in Tokyo? Think again! A two-day orientation is held in Fukushima City shortly after the new JETs from Group B arrive in the ken. The conference is designed to help you better acclimate to our specific roles and functions within Fukushima, bond with new compatriots, and learn how indeed and truly-- ESID.

Orientation
This is a two-day shindig held in Fukushima City. Attending party members include new JETs, PAs, ASLs , various members of the | FuJET Council , and not to be forgotten-- the governor of Fukushima. Day one is filled with welcoming speeches, Q&A, and various panels specifically tailored to life and work in Fukushima.

After the first night of Fukushima Orientation, there is an Orientation Welcome Party. Remember that there is a second day of orientation after the party!

On the second day, there will be more panels and discussions led by members of the FuJET community.

Getting There
Your supervisor should give you all of the information that you need regarding the Fukushima Orientation right away. If you don't hear anything from them, don't be afraid to ask. Unfortunately, how you will get to the orientation will vary from person to person. Some school districts will provide you with a hotel room in Fukushima City, others will ask you to go to and from Fukushima City on both the first and the second day of the Orientation. Your travel expenses to and from Fukushima City will most likely be paid for by your Board of Education or reimbursed. If you are being reimbursed for your expenses, please don't forget to ask for receipts.
