VSO urgently needs experienced IT professionals to volunteer their skills in Africa now. At the moment we're working with a range of organisations mainly in Ethiopia, but also in Namibia, Tanzania and South Africa. You could be sharing your skills in teacher training colleges, supporting hardware and network maintenance and improving the quality of IT training delivered to students. Whatever your role, you'll be making an important contribution to bringing valuable IT skills to Africa.
We're looking for experienced IT professionals with a broad range of IT skills, such as network administration, hardware and software maintenance, database knowledge and troubleshooting. Some placements require formal teaching qualifications and experience, for others, informal training experience such as training new staff in your work place is sufficient. For all placements, your communication skills are just as important as your technical skills. You're not just improving the IT infrastructure of these organisations but also developing staff and making a significant impact on the lives of the disadvantaged communities they serve.
