Become a Cybersecurity Mentor – Lead the Next Generation of Talent
From the 2025 Commonwealth Cyber Initiative Experiential Learning Program, CCI has supported and funded CTEWorkforce, a workforce technology company, to deliver the Technology Enabled Engagement with Mentoring™ program or TEEM for short. Over the past five years, hundreds of students have successfully completed the program and emerged with the cybersecurity skills experience necessary to make them workplace ready.
What is Technology Enabled Engagement with Mentoring™?
TEEM is an award-winning mentee-driven learning program that facilitates online mentoring with an industry professional, for Virginia college students interested in a cybersecurity career.
Why TEEM Works...
Students take the lead throughout TEEM, allowing mentors to focus on providing feedback, guidance, encouragement, and professional insight. This removes classic mentor barriers, making participation easy and effective.
This structured approach facilitates access to the next generation of cybersecurity talent, with minimal time commitment – one hour a week for six-weeks. Mentors receive an industry-backed certificate recognizing their service and leadership development.
