Hi SANOG members,
My name is Omar and I work with APNIC Foundation. We?ve got a new opportunity
for folks in network operations. See below for more information.
The APNIC Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2026 cohort of the
Building Capabilities in the Asia Pacific

BCAP is a regionally focused capability-building initiative designed to
strengthen the technical and human competencies needed to build, operate, and
sustain Internet and digital infrastructure across the Asia Pacific. We are
inviting Internet professionals and practitioners who are working and are
interested in areas such as network operations, cybersecurity, IT and tech
support, Internet governance, policy, and research to apply.
BCAP builds on previous Foundation projects, of Switch! And Digital Leap South
Asia, evolving into a unified, region-wide capability-building project.
