What is a Prefectural Advisor?
Certain ALTs, CIRs, and Japanese local government employees serve as prefectural advisors (PAs) in Kyoto Prefecture, working in the prefectural International Affairs Division or Board of Education and providing JETs and contracting organizations (COs) administrative and well-being related support. Your first port of call should be your base school/CO, but feel free to contact the PAs if you need additional help. In addition to encouraging the further deepening of mutual understanding between COs and JETs, PAs also provide support in emergency situations.
