Georgetown Pivot Program
Launched in 2018, the Georgetown Pivot Program is a professional development program for career-oriented individuals who have previously been incarcerated. Through rigorous classroom training and hands-on work experience, Pivot Fellows discover potential vocational paths and develop the skills needed to succeed in both the workplace and as leaders in their communities. The Pivot Program, designed in partnership with the D.C. Department of Employment Services, also works closely with employer partners and the business community to advance hiring practices that are more inclusive of people with past convictions.
