WHAT WILL YOU DO?
HANDS ON PROFESSIONAL WORK
We host interns in a variety of areas throughout the business, including but not limited to Healthcare Analytics, IT, Marketing, Human Resources, and our Healthcare Value areas.
MENTORSHIP
Our interns regularly meet with their managers for one-on-ones as well as with other members of their cohort.
INTERN WORKSHOPS
Our Learning and Development team, along with our Workforce Development team, developed the intern workshops to focus on building professional and interpersonal skills like Accountability, Time Management, Communication and the “Brand You Series.”
EXECUTIVE PRESENTATIONS
At the end of each cohort, our interns get to share with each other, their departments and our leadership team the work that they have been doing and contributing to over the semester.
A Day in the Life of an Intern
Join Jori B. to get an inside look at a day in the life of a Blue Cross Digital Experience intern in 2021! It's not just email and virtual meetings from her home office. Jori also goes on video shoots and helps run our Facebook livestream events. Then it's back to the office to catch a virtual coffee talk, brainstorm a social media campaign or create our latest TikTok video.
Thank You to our Interns
“What Our Interns Had to Say”
“The internship at BCBSLA meant a lot to me because I was able to apply acquired knowledge to real work experiences. I learned a lot of new things and enjoyed being exposed to a professional job setting. My transition from college to a full-time employee was a breeze because I was familiar with the company and job duties. I grew as a professional by learning my strengths and weaknesses in the workplace. I learned to network, and I developed strong teamwork skills. I add value by meeting expectations and going above. I work with providers to help them provide quality care to our members.”
