Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT) is a Canadian charitable organization and social enterprise that delivers technology, entrepreneurship and leadership training programs to young people in East Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/digital-opportunity-trust-dot/ )〕 The organization headquarters are in Ottawa, Canada, with local operations around the globe. Since the organization was founded in 2002, DOT has directly impacted more than 4,500 youth worldwide, who have gone on to reach over 800,000 of their fellow community members. More than 90% of alumni go on to either secure employment or start their own businesses within six months of completing DOT programming. DOT’s stated mission is "to create global networks of talented, energetic young leaders who make a real change by educating local communities to apply technology effectively to real life."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dotrust.org/about/ )〕 == The DOT Model == DOT operates under a youth-leading-youth model. Each of its economic, education and leadership programs are facilitated by recent graduates from the local area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dotrust.org/about/whatwedo )〕 Those team members are called DOT Interns. Interns go through a month-long training process where they learn writing, collaboration, facilitation and coaching skills. They then offer DOT's signature programs at partner organizations across their country. Each DOT Intern is projected to impact 200 of their peers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://2013.dotrust.org/ )〕 DOT's programs include:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dotrust.org/programs )〕 *ReachUp! - an economic program that trains university and college graduates to deliver technology, business, and workforce readiness skills *StartUp! - an entrepreneurship program that addresses the business and technology skills needed to create sustainable, customer-centric small and medium-sized enterprises *TeachUp! - an information and communications technology program that places young university graduates in schools to guide and assist teachers with integrating technology into their classrooms.
