I believe the answer is:

aircrew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jet set?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both groups as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'raw rice cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'raw'+'rice'='rawrice'
'rawrice' is an anagram of 'AIRCREW'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aircrew that I've seen before include "flyers" , "Team manning aircraft" , "Hostesses etc" , "Rice war? (anag)" , "Staff manning a plane" .)
