Kumamoto Orientation usually occurs soon after new JET participants arrive to Kumamoto Prefecture with the intentions of giving tips and suggestions on how to live and be successful on the JET Programme. Whereas Tokyo Orientation provides generic information on how to deal with issues that you may face on the JET Programme and while living in Japan, Kumamoto Orientation focuses more on giving a chance for new JET participants to join workshops and listen to presentations led by senior JET participants on how to deal with those circumstances while in Kumamoto. You can find collections of materials, including presentation slides, workshops, and booth handouts below.
