The Women’s Security Alliance is seeking experienced cybersecurity individuals to become Mentors.

​

You already know how difficult it is to understand the different positions and career path options. If you were to write a letter to your younger self, you could provide insights and advice that would have been incredibly helpful as you navigated the maze of cybersecurity. Sharing your expertise and experience is what the mentorship program is all about.

Being a WomSA Mentor provides:

• An opportunity to give back by sharing your experience and skills

• A platform to network by collaborating with peer mentors

• A seat on the WomSA Advisory Board to provide feedback and vision

• Potentially participate on a panel at a WomSA event

• Increased visibility by providing a quote and headshot for the WomSA website and PowerPoint deck

The WomSA mentorship program utilizes the CyberSeek.org interactive map and career pathway tool. CyberSeek is supported by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S. Department of Commerce. The interactive map provides a granular snapshot of supply and demand data for cybersecurity jobs at the state and metro area levels. The career pathway tool shows key jobs within cybersecurity, common transition opportunities between them, and detailed information about the salaries, credentials, and skillsets associated with each role.
