2023 Georgetown Pivot Pitch Competition

Partner With Pivot

The Georgetown Pivot Program is seeking companies and organizations to host a three-month, subsidized Pivot internship in Spring 2023. Internships provide organizations that have an interest in second chance hiring with an opportunity to work with highly qualified candidates and to explore what it means to introduce returning citizens into their organizations.

Employer Partners

The Pivot Program works closely with our employer partners to identify opportunities for second chance hiring and set our Fellows and graduates up for success in their careers. As a founding member of the Second Chance Business Coalition, Pivot is a leading resource for employers committed to inclusive hiring of returning citizens.
