For mentors
Mentor the next generation of African cyber talent.
Industry practitioners review learner work, defend capstones, and certify placement-ready talent. Recognition through OCH credits — redeemable for courses, certifications, and partner goodies.
Why mentors matter
Unfilled cyber roles globally — and Africa is over-represented in the shortfall
Average experience required to validate placement-ready learner work
Per week is enough to materially shape a junior's trajectory
Mentor-to-cohort ratio is the single strongest predictor of placement outcomes
