Welcome to the

Lift Mentoring Program!

Lift is a global mentoring program designed to empower professionals by fostering meaningful relationships across all stages of their careers. As the Women in Cybersecurity study indicates, mentorship is correlated with the success and satisfaction of women at all levels. Lift Mentoring relationships are intended to offer support and encouragement in defining and achieving career goals, managing work-life integration, and developing and advancing professionally.
