WP Includes has announced that applications are now open for the Autumn 2025 cohort of its Women in WordPress Mentorship Program, set to begin this October. Designed to support women navigating their careers within the WordPress space, the program brings together mentees and mentors for five months of shared learning and professional growth. Applications are open through September 5, 2025.
Call for Mentees and Mentors now open
Selected mentees will be matched with a mentor to receive coaching and support throughout the five-month program. Participants will connect with their mentor through monthly calls, gaining guidance based on the mentor’s experience to help navigate career-related challenges as highlighted, “ Mentees are paired with a mentor who will be able to provide them with coaching and mentorship…..you will have monthly calls with your mentor who will use their experience to provide you with guidance and coach you to find answers to the challenges in your career.”
Mentees will also be invited to join the WP Includes Slack workspace, where they can engage with fellow mentees and mentors, as stated, “ You will also be invited to the WP Includes Slack, where you can interact with other mentees and mentors, connecting with other women in the WordPress industry.”
The team is also seeking mentors to join its Autumn 2025 cohort.
The role of mentors includes coaching and guiding the mentees, holding regular one-on-one meetings, providing feedback on the program, sharing relevant job opportunities within the community network, and maintaining confidentiality throughout the process.
