Picture this: you’ve built a career, maybe even mastered it—and then one day, you feel the pull to do something different. A new industry. A new skill. A new purpose. That’s the power of a career pivot—and it’s happening everywhere. Changing paths can be exciting, but it also takes guts, support, and a culture that sees potential beyond a résumé. The good news? Some companies are doing just that. They’re helping people reinvent themselves, explore new directions, and thrive through change. In this spotlight, we’re featuring employers who don’t just hire talent—they help it evolve.
Delivery Hero
At Delivery Hero, we’re passionate about unlocking fresh career paths for pivoters! This summer, we launched our first Hero Tech Course in Berlin, a 2-month Backend Engineering upskilling journey where learners mastered Kotlin. Our trailblazing group included a former HR pro, marketer, architect, musician and more!
That’s just the beginning; every Hero gets a €1,000 yearly education budget to invest in courses, conferences, or specialized training, plus access to many learning platforms. Thanks to our internal mobility program, employees can explore exciting new roles across teams and regions, turning bold career moves into long-term success!
