Bengaluru: AI-enabled talent assessment and hiring platform HireMee on Tuesday said it has joined US-based Rockefeller Foundation’s Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) to bridge the gap between graduation and first career jobs for young graduates from diverse communities in India.
The GMI programme connects students with mentors who provide guidance and business skills in preparation to enter the job market after graduation, thereby enhancing their employability quotient. With over 5,000 mentors in 120 countries, GMI’s mentors come from leading organisations such as Microsoft, LinkedIn and Genpact, among others.
“Our partnership with GMI will select HireMee assessed youth to be mentored by volunteers from top global brands and enhance their employability quotient,” said Venkatraman Umakanth, SVP and Head, HireMee.
The MoU between GMI and HireMee will make the GMI Programme available for free to the youth across the country.
“We are delighted to make the Global Mentorship Initiative (GMI) programme available to the youth across India and enhance their employability quotient even further,” said Jon Browning, CEO, Global Mentorship Initiative.
