**The Company**
At Springboard, we aim to close the world’s skills gap by delivering transformative online education in data science, UI/UX design, machine learning, and coding. While our courses are technology-enabled, we are truly people-first. Throughout the program, every student connects with a supportive community, including fellow students, industry-expert mentors, student advisors, and career coaches—all working together to help participants successfully land the job they want. This blended approach has helped thousands of learners rework their careers and, in turn, their lives, with hundreds of strong job offers each year and an excellent placement rate for program graduates.

**The Opportunity**
Springboard offers an online, self-paced Cyber Security Career Track where participants learn through a carefully selected curriculum and 1-on-1 support from an expert mentor. Our mentor network—the foundation of our programs—includes some of the best cybersecurity professionals in the field.

If you’re passionate about mentoring as well as cybersecurity, and you can set aside a few hours each week in exchange for an honorarium, we’d love to hear from you.

If you have any questions, please contact us at **mentors@springboard.com**.
