The Worley Foundation recently awarded Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) with a three-year grant to support Rising Together, Worley and GMI’s initiative aimed at providing career readiness mentorships to college students as they prepare to transition from school to their first professional jobs.
Leading global professional services company Worley partners with communities and organizations to drive lasting, sustainable change through the Worley Foundation. Championed by Worley people, the Foundation supports initiatives in STEM education, skilled volunteering, and environmental and social development.
“We are honored to be selected for this grant from the Worley Foundation,” stated Jon Browning, GMI CEO. “This partnership will help ensure that GMI’s proven mentorship program will remain available to students around the globe, empowering the next generation of leaders to build impactful and meaningful careers.”
GMI’s structured mentorships match students with a volunteer mentor who guides them through an easy-to-follow curriculum in 12 online sessions. The curriculum is designed to help them create a career plan, identify their competitive advantage as a job candidate, and excel in their careers.
“GMI Ambassadors like Worley Foundation project champion Avin Panchorie, are instrumental in helping GMI secure this critical funding and encouraging participation,” continues Jon. “Their partnership helps ensure that our program remains free for students and that each of them can benefit from the guidance of a GMI mentor.”
GMI’s community of mentors includes over 8,500 individuals in 100+ countries, in a diverse range of fields, disciplines, and roles. In addition to Avin, over 250 Worley people across 23 countries are registered GMI mentors.
“GMI and Worley both believe that mentorships can help us unlock the brilliance within ourselves and in others. We are excited to grow our partnership and connect more of their employees to opportunities to make an impact across the world,” concludes Jon
