Net Corps is an initiative of six Canadian International
Non-governmental Organizations, Canada World Youth, CARE Canada, CUSO,
Oxfam-Quebec, World University Service of Canada and VSO Canada.  Net
Corps mandate is to place technically trained Canadian youth, between
19 and 30, in selected developing countries to assist in their efforts
to acquire, build and spread telecommunications infrastructure.  Upon
their return, the interns will be provided with employment skills
training and contacts with the Canadian private sector.

 Internship opportunities will be provided in Latin America and the
 Caribbean, South East Asia, Southern, West and East Africa.  Specific
 countries of placement will be identified in the coming weeks.  The
 placements will be with the private, public and non-profit sectors
 and will involve the development of computer networks, web site
 development and Internet connectivity.  Applicants must demonstrate
 strong computer skills in these areas, including academic and
 practical application.  Applications from individuals with
 post-secondary diplomas or degrees in the computer sciences are
 encouraged but these specializations will not be a requirement for
 selection if sufficient practical skills can be demonstrated.

The overseas portion of the internships will have a duration of six
months.  A week-long pre-departure briefing for all participants will
occur the week of February 1 in Ottawa with overseas departures
immediately thereafter.  Upon return to Canada there will be
debriefings in locations across Canada with additional job-support
follow-up.

Deadline for application: October 24, 1997
