Career Pivoting

Description

"Career Pivoting – More “controlled” career path revisions seem to be occurring more and more often – sometimes out of the need to stay where the work is and in other cases to pursue a better career fit. As a result, pivoting has become much more common. Pivoting often entails a change in specific work setting or industry – but many components of the current skill set are applied to a new role. How these adjustments will be a focus – and vehicles such as mid-career internships may become more popular (and important). How many are choosing a pivot, instead of a more drastic career change? How plentiful are the opportunities for a career pivot? Are internships there for those who want or need a mid-career revision?"
