Who We Are
How We Build Workforce Mobility
We work across three connected layers — helping individuals move, building pathways into opportunity, and turning what works into systems that can scale.
02
Create the Pathway
Turn learning into opportunity.
We connect skilling, employability, community, applied experience and employers so people have a pathway from learning towards meaningful work and progression.
03
Make Mobility Systemic
Turn evidence into lasting change.
We take what we learn from real workforce transitions back to employers, educators and policymakers — helping successful approaches become repeatable, scalable and sustainable.
How we started
Pivot Project grew from a simple insight: skills alone are not enough.
Our founder, Annie Mathew, previously created and led Microsoft Code Without Barriers across 12 countries, reaching more than 600,000 women.
That experience demonstrated the power of large-scale skilling — but also revealed what people need beyond learning: confidence, community, applied experience, networks and access to real opportunities.
Pivot Project was created to connect those missing pieces..

How We Create Change
What we bring to the pathway
Our capability sits at the intersection of skills, inclusion, innovation and systems change. We bring these together through partnerships and coalitions rather than working in isolation.
OUR MIssion
BUILT THROUGH PARTNERSHIP
Workforce mobility is an ecosystem challenge. No single organisation can solve it alone.
Pivot works through partnerships and coalitions across technology, industry, education, government and community — combining complementary capabilities to reach people at scale and create pathways that last.
