The mentorship
CyberDose runs this program for five people at a time, so each mentee gets real attention. Cohort 01 focuses on offensive security research and development: you learn by doing the work yourself while a mentor follows your progress, and you publish what you find.
When your cohort ends, you give back. Every graduate volunteers with CyberDose, mentoring and guiding the next group of students.
With only five seats, we can't take everyone who applies. We pick the people we believe will put in the effort every week.
Who we're looking for
- You can give the program steady time every week, including the weeks when it gets hard.
- You try to solve problems yourself before asking for the answer.
- You take direct feedback and act on it.
- You love finding out how things break, and you want to publish what you find: write-ups, tools or advisories.
- You want a career in cybersecurity and you're willing to work for it.
- After your cohort, you're ready to give back by mentoring the next students.
