Join the next cohort of the Women in Defence and Security (WiDS) National Mentoring Program, a 9-month, virtual journey designed to equip emerging professionals with the insight, confidence and connections they need to thrive.

From September 1, 2025, to May 31, 2026, selected mentees will be grouped in a dynamic trio model: one seasoned mentor paired with two mentees for monthly virtual sessions. These conversations will focus on real-world challenges, goal-setting, and navigating career growth across both public and private sectors.

Whether you're a student exploring your path or a junior professional looking to level up, this program offers meaningful guidance from women who’ve been there and want to help you go further.

How It Works

Once registered, mentees will complete a brief intake form about their current role and career aspirations. This helps WiDS match you with a mentor aligned to your goals, interests, and ambitions.
