Summary

The Internet is fundamental to our daily life and more than 60% of the world population are citizens of this cyberspace. However, not many people understand how it works or how it is managed and governed.

In 2022, some of the most prominent players in this field from industry and academia jointly developed the APIE program to encourage more young people to get involved in improving cyberspace together for the future.

The APIE program will help university students and young people in the Asia Pacific region looking to improve their employability potential and build the network engineering and operation skills needed to meet the global demand for Internet engineers in industry and academia, including research and education networks (REN).

This program consists of self-paced online learning components as well as hands-on and community building opportunities in face-to-face projects. It’s designed to be completed in a semester-long period, after which graduates receive an APIE Program certificate. This APIE Certificate of Completion will open up new possibilities for your future!

Objectives

  1. Understand the philosophy and practical skills of Internet operation and engineering.
  2. Join a community and build a human network in the Asia Pacific region for the Internet operation, engineering, and research for the future.
  3. Build connections to the industry in the Asia Pacific region for your future career.

This program consists of the following four components.

APIE Online

APIE Online provides several self-paced online courses. Currently, the following three online courses are available.

APIE e-Workshop
