Plan Ahead
GMI matches mentors and students within a 7-hour time difference. Thinking ahead for scheduling is important to ensure that the schedule works for both mentor and student. Schedule all 10 sessions and get them on your calendar - it's always easier to reschedule a regular meeting than to schedule a new time at the end of each session.
Introduce Yourself
In the Mentor Resource Portal, there is an email template that you can use to introduce yourself to your student after you have received the initial introduction email from GMI. It's important for you to reply to that email introducing yourself.As a reminder you will have access to your Mentor Resource portal the week before your match date.

Stay in touch with your student
If you’re busy one week or need to reschedule, let them know. If you haven’t heard from your student, reach out and check in. And if a full week goes by with no response, please contact GMI so we can help reconnect you both.

In session 1, you will:
- Get to know your student
- Review the GMI Code of Conduct
- Consult with them on their career plan
- Create a regular schedule for your following sessions
It is important to remember that students come to GMI from all over the world, which can mean varying levels of network reliability. Take the time during this first session to discuss any outages that may come up and the easiest method of communication for your student.Program Roadmap

Be a GREAT Mentor
Here are some tips on how to be a GREAT Mentor:
Orientation
Once we have confirmation that you have completed this orientation, you will be one step closer to being matched with a student. Your student will also complete an orientation to learn what is expected of them and to understand the content that you will be guiding them through.
Stay in touch with GMI
It’s important to keep GMI informed of any issues, concerns, or extended breaks that come up during your mentorship. We’re always here and ready to help whenever you need support.
We prepare students around the world for success in their job search by providing them with the tools and guidance needed to be successful.
GMI prepares students to get their first career job. This is accomplished through a structured, short-term, online mentorship with a business professional and enhanced through the power of AI.
