Purpose:
To get students and graduates to financial freedom through gainful, rewarding employment.
Vision:
To create a capable, diverse talent pipeline by algorithmically connecting students with strong employment opportunities by providing leadership, business and professional skills which enhance a grad’s career trajectory. The leadership, business and professional skills improve a grad’s career trajectory while providing talented, promotion-worthy employees to employers.
Values:
GlobalMindED’s Inclusive Success Network believes that every person deserves access to resources, networks and job opportunities that can actualize their gifts, talents and abilities in their unique career path, fulling their full potential. We value giving voice to otherwise marginalized talent and leaders as we co-create solutions with them and for them through our vast network of generous leaders.
GlobalMindED was founded in 2014 in Denver, Colorado. It is now grown to support students throughout the United States. Our mission is to improve college completion and employment attainment through role models, mentors, internships, experiences and jobs providing students with the personal and professional know-how to fulfill any ambition they desire.
We close the equity gap by providing first-generation students with resources, networks, mentors, experiential learning, connections to role models, internships, and jobs. Among the programs offered include, the First Generation Leadership Program, the Ambassador Program/College Collaborative, a United Nations event, an Annual Conference, and other stakeholder convenings that champion the importance of preparing young people for career promotion pathways during and upon college graduation.
According to the Strata Education/Burning Glass Institute, “college is not working for most – 52% of graduates are underemployed a year after graduation, and a decade later, 45% are.” Solving for this has been our purpose since inception. We play an integral role in bringing significant economic benefits locally and nationally by collaborating with institutions of higher education, corporations, philanthropy, and other key partners to build a diverse student leadership-to-employment pipeline primarily from historically underserved/ underrepresented BIPOC communities for leadership positions in STEM, business, finance, education, and healthcare fields. For example, students participating in the First Gen Leadership and Mentoring Program are invited to attend an all-day leadership training, as well as a Career Exploration Industry Marketplace at the GlobalMindED Annual Conference. During the conference, students engage with thought leaders across industries and Fortune 500 companies where they gain insights into various career paths and have the opportunity to meet potential professional mentors.
GlobalMindED is led by Carol Carter, Founder & CEO. Carol is a national and international student success speaker, entrepreneur, and author of the widely acclaimed “Keys to Success” series helping college students connect academic success to professional success, read by 3 million first year students. Her vision for GlobalMindED is to bring leaders in education, government, business, and social enterprise committed to improving access and equity in education, employment, social well-being, and health.
