What are PIVOT Programs?

IPR Professional Integration of Vocational Opportunities and Transition (PIVOT) Programs are carefully curated sessions for those who anticipate, or are currently experiencing, a career transition. PIVOT Programs empower professional transitions by leveraging individual experiences and helping translate and communicate them as skills that are valued across professional industries. 

Each PIVOT Program follows the same proven structure designed to support individuals navigating any major career or life transition.

Introduction & Self-Asessment

Participants begin with a guided reflection to identify strengths, lived experiences, transferable skills, and personal values. This session sets the foundation for understanding how their background aligns to new opportunities.

Personal Brand & Storytelling Development

Participants craft a compelling personal narrative that communicates who they are, what they bring, and what they are seeking next. This includes elevator pitches, LinkedIn positioning, and developing a confident professional identity for their next chapter.

Application Materials & Job-Search Strategy

Participants refine their résumé, cover letter, and digital presence. They also learn practical job-search strategies, how to tailor materials to specific roles, and how to prepare for interviews through confident storytelling and clear communication.

Translating Experience into Professional Value

Participants learn how to convert previous experiences, whether academic, military, athletic, professional, or personal, into language that resonates in today’s workforce. This includes identifying competencies, framing experience, and understanding career relevance.

Career Exploration & Pathway Alignment

Individuals explore roles, industries, and pathways that align with their strengths and career goals. Participants learn how to evaluate opportunities, understand role expectations, and identify where they can provide immediate value.

Transition Roadmap & Next Steps Plan

Programs conclude with the creation of a personalized 30/60/90-day action plan that outlines clear goals, milestones, and accountability steps. This roadmap ensures participants leave confident, prepared, and empowered for the transition ahead.
