 Your Passport
 to Employment

NetCorps gives the opportunity to participate in a four-to-six month overseas internship, which may includes some time in Canada. Throughout the internship, participants have the chance to develop skills that will be essential to your integration into the job market: you will fine tune your abilities in information and communication technologies (ICTs), learn a new language, adapt to new work situations, and develop skills in teamwork, leadership and problem solving in different contexts, to name but a few.

NetCorps interns face exciting challenges, gain unique work experience, and learn a great deal about themselves, both at the personal and the professional levels. Their role is an important one, as they share and exchange their knowledge and skills with others.

The NetCorps Canada International program was launched as part of the federal government's Youth Employment Strategy, whose aim is to help young Canadians gain the professional experience they need in order to have successful careers. The NetCorps program gives young people the opportunity to participate in innovative internships in the field of international development and ICTs. Industry Canada, in partnership with a coalition of nine of the largest volunteer-sending organizations in Canada, invites youth to take part in a unique experience that will put their knowledge about ICTs to use, while offering to them an exceptional work experience and providing the chance to discover other countries and cultures.
