“I love seeing the impact that the interns at BCBSLA make on not only our organization, but the community. It brings me so much joy to watch each cohort progress and develop their skills with the use of the professional development classes and meaningful real-world projects.”
Lindsey Lucca

"I have always enjoyed working with people. Since joining the Talent Acquisition team that love for people, particularly young adults, has grown. I strive to be a guide, not just the representative of a potential employer, and show that companies like Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana can not only help you accomplish your dreams but also make meaningful contributions to society."

Talent in Action
Our Talent Sourcing & Programs team, along with our Talent Acquisition Partners and Talent Ambassadors, seek out a variety of opportunities to source talent. Whether it is at a four-year university, a Chamber of Commerce event for high schoolers or a community outreach event, we enjoy sharing our experiences here at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Louisiana with everyone we meet.
Talent Ambassadors Lydia Bowie, Erin Smith and Missy Judice attend the BR Area Chamber career fair introducing Blue Cross to high schoolers looking for career opportunities.
Every spring, summer and fall, we bring together all interns to hear from a member of our Senior Management Team. Paula Shepherd, SVP of Benefit Operations, spoke to the group in the Fall of 2023 on the importance of Emotional Intelligence and gave her four nuggets of advice to our interns.
Our Talent Sourcing and Programs team at Southern University in Baton Rouge facilitate a resume workshop for computer science students.
Our 2024 Talent Ambassadors will be coming to a career outreach event near you! Be on the lookout for our team.
