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.
01
Find Your Pivot
We help people understand their strengths, explore new possibilities and build the skills, confidence and networks needed to navigate change.
02
Create the Pathway
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
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
