Mentorship Program

Mentorship Program

Cyversity’s Mentorship Program provides valuable personal and professional development opportunities for Mentors and Mentees alike.


Mentoring is a key component in developing talent and supporting the success of future cybersecurity professionals. That’s why we created the Cyversity Mentorship Program, which fosters meaningful mentoring relationships and includes supplemental initiatives that provide an immersive experience for all participants.


Our mission for this program is to provide our Mentees with an extra hand in making connections, networking, career pathing, improving communication skills, getting insight into cybersecurity roles, and gaining interview and resume-writing skills. This program is designed to cater to the mentees. We seek to provide the support and resources that will act as a stepping stone to success for the traditionally underrepresented communities that we serve.


Mentorship programs are currently closed for now.

Our 16-week Session includes:

Two people with a target icon in a speech bubble above them

1:1 matching that aligns the skills of the mentor with the goals of the mentee

Black checklist icon with a graduation cap at the top

A pre-developed curriculum that will help guide each session (optional)

Two people talking at a table with speech bubbles above them

Interactive “Ask Me Anything” sessions with professionals from across the cybersecurity industry

Two people with speech bubbles and a lightbulb above them, symbolizing a discussion or idea exchange

A platform that encourages open and direct communication, and allows for support from other Mentees and Mentors
