Alumni and students from the Strategic Career Planning and Management class from the Division of Professional Communications at Georgetown SCS recently attended a career event at Jubilee Jobs, a workforce development nonprofit. The evening celebrated those who have been able to overcome barriers to employment such as learning disabilities, drug abuse and former incarceration.

Rejoicing in song and prayer, many members and their job counselors celebrated their one year milestone in employment. For many, this has come after extensive counseling and job preparation to reach economic self-sufficiency. Fourteen students and alumni from the PR/CC and Journalism programs volunteered at the event by serving dinner and sharing their own career journey with job candidates and staff. Everyone from the Georgetown team looks forward to further contributing to Jubilee Jobs’ efforts to help job seekers rejoin the workforce and reach financial self-reliance.
