More Information
Designed in partnership with the DC Department of Employment Services and delivered by Georgetown faculty, the Pivot Program is a one-year transition and re-entry program centered on a blend of academic work and supported employment. We will begin accepting applications for our Fall 2021 cohort in the summer of 2021.
Pivot Program fellowships are full-time commitments. The first portion of the program is spent in class, developing the skills needed to succeed in a business and professional environment. Following the completion of the academic program, Pivot Fellows spend approximately 3 months at a subsidized work placement with one of our internship hosts. During that final phase, Fellows choose between one of two post-program tracks: incubation or employment. Those opting to create their own businesses are provided with workspace, business coaching, legal support and access to resources; those seeking permanent employment are guided through a focused employment search. Throughout the program, Pivot Program Fellows receive a weekly stipend from the D.C. Department of Employment Services, which creates a strong incentive to complete the full set of program requirements.
Applicants to the Pivot Program must be D.C. residents age 25 and above with a high school diploma or GED who were last incarcerated within the past two years. Up to 20 individuals will be invited to participate in each cohort.
