Local know-how
What to know before you go
Software and IT in Kathmandu
Kathmandu is the center of Nepal's IT sector. According to the Kathmandu Post, much of the country's IT work is in the capital, where colleges, companies and business services are clustered. The same report says the sector's export work includes software development, IT outsourcing, AI services and data work for clients abroad.
That means a placement might involve working on products or projects for overseas customers, not only for the local market. Depending on your host, you might write or test code, work on web or mobile features, or help with data and documentation. Beginners are welcome: you don't need a degree or a long CV. Tell your career advisor which languages and tools you know so we can look for the closest match.
