You’re a highly-skilled, dedicated worker. You’re well educated and have plenty of work experience. You’re an invaluable source of talent that many companies can benefit from. So why is it so hard for you to re-enter the workforce? We asked ourselves that question, too.

We are on a mission.

Parents Pivot is an online resource hub that focuses on helping people who have paused their career for parenthood reconnect with their professional selves and return to paid, meaningful work that they love!

PARENTS START HERE · EMPLOYERS START HERE
