Hire a Pivot Intern

After completing their intensive academic coursework, the Pivot Fellows begin internships with D.C. companies and nonprofits, where they gain meaningful work experience, build their professional networks, and explore options for full-time employment after graduation.

At the same time, Pivot intern hosts gain highly qualified and committed interns and have a chance to explore how second chance hiring may fit into their organization and workplace.

While in their internships, Fellows are supervised by a Pivot Program coach and continue to earn an hourly stipend, paid for by the program. There is no cost to the employer; host companies are invited, but not required, to help defray the cost of the stipend by making a contribution to the Pivot Program.  Pivot Fellows are also provided with laptops and are able to work either on site or remotely for employers with teleworking practices.  

If you are interested in partnering with the Pivot Program as an intern host or with questions, please contact Pivot Executive and Academic Director Alyssa Lovegrove at alyssa.lovegrove@georgetown.edu or fill out our contact form.
