Digital Opportunity Trust

Opportunity
A leading edge Canadian international organization, DOT focuses on creating educational, economic and entrepreneurial opportunity through the effective use of ICT for communities and people in the developing world - with a particular focus on youth and women.  DOT also delivers special outreach programs to marginalized communities in partnership with the donor community.

Our Unique Approach
DOT recruits and trains talented young people (university graduates) from partner countries to become Interns. Because technology alone is not enough, we develop these technology ambassadors’ skills in leadership, project management, facilitation, communication and teamwork.  The Interns then share and transfer their knowledge through practical projects led by community members that respond to local needs and opportunities.

Success
DOT's success lies in our ability to leverage innovative partnerships.  The people we work with, who represent local and internal organizations, government departments and the private sector, are all champions of local ICT priorities.  DOT's global community of colleagues share a common vision of a connected world in the 21st-Century.
