Become a Mentor
For people with disabilities stepping into a new field or seeking new digital skills, the presence of a mentor can be transformative. As a mentor, you have a special opportunity to positively impact lives by sharing knowledge, insights, and advice you’ve gained over the years, providing crucial support for those with disabilities.
Mentors will support learners by:
- Sharing industry insights
- Answering questions
- Regularly reviewing progress
- Offering career advice
- Introducing them to their professional networks and industry contacts
Mentors will be paired with individual learners. Each mentor will foster a personal connection with the learner, adopting a holistic approach that nurtures their unique and individualized growth.

Hire a SkillingUp Program Graduate
Hiring a graduate from the SkillingUp program can be advantageous for both parties. While people with disabilities develop in-demand job skills, employers and agencies have access to a determined, ambitious, tech-enabled workforce.
For employers, potential recruits come fully certified and current employees with disabilities can get certification that allows them to advance themselves in your organization — at no cost to you.
For agencies, SkillingUp allows you to confidently present your clients as highly-employable talent at all skill levels, improving employment outcomes and your overall success rate.
