NetCorps

<p>
NetCorps  was a volunteer-organizing coalition consisting of nine Canadian <a href="/facts/Non-governmental_organization/qxQSsxsI">non-governmental organizations</a> (NGOs), funded by the <a href="/facts/Canadian_International_Development_Agency/r731uqJP">Canadian International Development Agency</a> (CIDA) and managed by the NetCorps coordination unit. Through the program, the organizations created international <a href="/facts/Information_and_communication_technologies/wG6q8RfN">information and communication technologies</a> (ICT) internships in developing countries around the world. Interns typically participated in six-month programs, leaving between August and November for host organizations in the placement countries. Positions were limited to 19–30-year-old Canadian citizens or landed immigrants who had "appropriate information and communication technologies skills". Typical duties included creating webpages, developing databases, computer networking, setting up hardware, preparing manuals and other documentation, and general-to-advanced computer instruction.
