Course Description

The Georgetown University Pivot Program is a business and entrepreneurship-oriented reentry program, delivered by Georgetown University in partnership with the D.C. Department of Employment Services. The program, which combines classroom training with subsidized internships at local businesses and non-profits, is designed to change the attitude of employers toward the hiring of individuals with prior criminal convictions, and to allow returning citizens to access opportunities that would be otherwise out of reach. We also hope that Pivot Program graduates will create jobs for themselves and for others through business enterprises of their own.

Course Objectives

Throughout the program, participants also incubate their own business ideas under the guidance of experienced mentors. Regardless of whether they ultimately choose to own and operate their own business, we believe the entrepreneurial skill set will create a greater sense of agency and empowerment, resulting in a more positive career trajectory.
