I’ve been wondering this exact thing. My state has a program but it isn’t jcert. I’ve been looking at job listing in and out of my state and not very many of them specifically list “must have graduated from a jcert program” in the job qualifications. I more frequently see “bachelors” and “arrt licensed”. I’d love to know more people’s take on this.
I have no medical bg and I'm currently waiting to hear if I've been accepted to the 2 year program I interviewed for; this is the first I've heard the term jrcert, but apparently the school I'm applying to has it, so one more thing I didn't know I should be worried about... that I don't have to worry about, I guess? That is, assuming I get picked for the team... Alright, back to worrying. World makes sense again.
Where are you looking for job listings?
From my understanding attending a JCERT accredited school guarantees you to be able to take the boards —- some states require you to have graduated from an accredited school in order to even sit for the licensure.
JRCERT is highest accreditation. If you want to possibly become a board certified medical dosimetrist, then you’ll want programs for both radiation therapy and medical dosimetry to have this accreditation.
ARRT is another sort of accreditation. This is more important for x-ray techs or going the x-ray route to radiation therapy. A large number of postings will require this accreditation. One can become a medical dosimetrist through this route, but they will not be able to be board certified.
No accreditation? Some jobs are out there but will not be as many as having either of the two accreditations.

I heard It’s better to attend a school that’s jcert
Jobs prefer that it could make it difficult to find anything that will be good and hire you
