Global Mentorship Initiative

Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) bridges the gap between graduation and first career jobs for underrepresented young professionals from diverse communities. Through leveraging digital resources, mentorship, AI, and human connection, we are building a more equitable workforce of tomorrow’s leaders. Created in 2019 from the Rockefeller Foundation’s Digital Jobs Initiative, GMI has grown to be the largest global virtual mentorship platform helping marginalized learners including refugees launch their first career job. Committed to keeping our learners and evolving market demands at the forfront of our model, GMI launched a redesigned, AI-powered mentorship curriculum in 2024. Our mentoring programs provide students in high unemployment areas with role models to provide guidance, business skills, and job opportunities when they graduate. Mentors follow a specific program track to ensure students realize the full benefit of mentorship with a business professional. GMI mentors are business professionals just like you and come from any field or discipline and are matched with students who have similar interests.
