Microsoft & GMI: Our Impact

Together Microsoft and GMI are bridging the gap between graduation and first career jobs for underrepresented young professionals from diverse communities. Since our partnership began in 2020, thousands of Microsoft Professionals have joined GMI as mentors, making an impact in the lives of students worldwide.

GMI’s structured 12-session mentorship program is designed to make it easy to be a great mentor without a huge time commitment. And it’s built to give GMI’s students a consistently high-quality experience.

To discover how Microsoft is leveraging the GMI program to grow its impact, check out our latest report.

Our 2024 Give Event

Every October, GMI and Microsoft professionals from around the globe connect for a unique 1-hour micro-volunteer opportunity. This year, we need your help building the foundation for GMI’s Career Coach AI, our career guidance AI tool that will allow students to query personalized guidance related to their upcoming job search. 

During the volunteer activity, you will be asked to reflect on your professional journey and be ready to share insights form your career that will help GMI students through the first two phases of the job search:

  1. Researching and preparing job opportunities
  2. Networking for job connections

Through the power of AI, your contributions will be leveraged at scale by GMI students as they enter the professional world. This 1-hour event requires no prior AI experience. Our custom Copilot will guide you through the volunteer activity.
