Recruiting Local Academies
From September 2003 to September 2004, a National UN Volunteer (NUNV) helped implement the Cisco Networking Academy Program (CNAP) in Indonesia. The NUNV recruited twenty “Local Academies”. In addition to their own curricula, the Academies adopt the Cisco curricula which include a high standard of IT and internet networking training. This especially benefits students living in remote areas who have no direct access to similar up-to-date IT curricula. The chalkboard is replaced by a computer and students learn advanced technologies as well as English language course material. The NUNV also supported efforts to involve female students in the Cisco partnership with the Ministry of Research and Technology.
