Hire a Pivot Graduate

We recognize that hiring individuals who have been impacted by the criminal justice system is challenging new ground for many, and we are happy to work with employers as they evaluate and introduce more inclusive hiring practices. Our Pivot Program Fellows are highly qualified candidates, eager to embrace new opportunities. We encourage you to reach out if you think you might be interested in hiring a Pivot graduate into your organization now or at any point in the future. 

As the Pivot Program continues to grow, so does our network of alumni. Whether you’re interested in hiring for an entry-level position or someone with several years of experience, we may be able to connect you with great talent.

To learn more, please email Pivot Executive and Academic Director Alyssa Lovegrove at alyssa.lovegrove@georgetown.edu or fill out our contact form.

The Pivot Program is also a founding member of the steering group for the Second Chance Business Coalition, which provides resources and advice to employers interested in providing career opportunities to people with criminal records.  Learn more about the coalition here.
