Project Net@ is a collaborative and innovative program that trains disadvantaged youth in Israel's peripheral areas in computer technology, and in the building and maintenance of Internet-related networks in order for them to compete for highly valued high-tech positions. At the same time it instills values of excellence and community involvement.

The project, a model strategic alliance between the Jewish Agency with Keren Hayesod-UIA, Cisco Systems, Inc. and Israeli non-profit Tapuach, is creating a technological "dream team" to help close the gaps associated with the "digital divide." Net@ is an expansion of an international online learning project initiated and sponsored by computer networking giant, Cisco Systems, to teach Internet technology skills to youth around the world.

Over 1,000 youth in 14 Israeli communities presently attend the four-year Net@ program.
