Applications open: CyAN Mentorship Programme, Autumn 2026

CyAN’s mentorship programme is back for its autumn 2026 cohort, running from mid-September to mid-December.

The programme is free and volunteer-led. It pairs people building a career in cybersecurity, or a related field, with experienced CyAN members for three months of one-to-one guidance. Mentees finish by writing and publishing an article on the CyAN blog, and join CyAN as members on completion.

We keep it light-touch, but we ask for real commitment from both sides: a call at least every two weeks, and active, responsive engagement throughout.

Mentees must be at least in a recognised undergraduate academic programme in a field relevant to CyAN’s activities. You are expected to be interested, engaged, and proactive.

Places are limited to ten pairs.

To take part as a mentee, apply at https://cybersecurityadvisors.network/reach-us/ by Friday 5 September, and let us know you are applying for the mentorship programme. CyAN members who would like to mentor can reply to our members’ call by Friday 22 August.
