incentive-aligned avenues that empower a highly diverse demographic to break into the technology industry.”Corporations that are interested in upskilling and retraining employees and offer diversity and inclusion in the workplace turn to Pivot. The school has partnerships with Shipt, a division of Target, and Amazon. Shipt sponsored around 32 individuals who participated in a 20-week program, where they will learn core competencies—ranging from backend development to data analytics.
Shipt removes financial barriers, which is all too common. All 32 students enrolled in the program received a full scholarship from Shipt. Of the 32 students selected, 19 are current Shipt employees and 13 are external candidates that were selected from the applicant pool to participate alongside internal Shipt team members.
Shipt says that it is “committed to fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in all that [it does] and that includes recruiting, hiring and retention efforts.” The company said, “We've long engaged, and continue to invest, in a variety of initiatives that help ensure our workforce reflects the communities where we live and work and gives everyone access to the same opportunities.” The partnership with Pivot reflects this agenda.
Mike Calvo, the chief technology officer at Shipt, said, “We’re an agile team with a great culture and have plans to expand by adding the very best talent to help impact our growth, which is why we invest in programs, like Pivot, to help creative individuals motivated to move into tech careers gain the skills and experience needed to move our company forward.”
