Career Mentorship for First‑Generation, Low‑Income, and Refugee Students Worldwide
Every year, more than 45 million young people graduate from degree‑seeking programs. Yet too many remain unemployed. They have talent and education, but lack the networks, confidence, and career‑readiness skills needed to secure their first professional job.
Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) bridges this gap by matching first‑generation, low‑income, and refugee students with dedicated mentors who provide personalized, one‑to‑one career coaching during the critical transition from education to employment.
Our virtual mentorship model ensures that students anywhere in the world can access structured guidance, build essential job readiness skills, and expand their professional network, creating the foundation for long‑term career success.
