Advice to Interns

The Centene Summer Intern Experience provides student interns an exceptional learning and development experience that they will not receive anywhere else. Not only are our gifted interns receiving the opportunity to work for a globally-recognized healthcare leader and one of the largest healthcare companies in the industry, they are being entrusted to do real work: work that is driving our company forward and helping us provide healthcare solutions to millions across the world and nearly 1 in 15 individuals in America.

The Centene Summer Intern Experience empowers student interns to provide a meaningful impact at a company ranked in the top 25 of the Fortune 500® and recognized as the leader in managed care. The contributions our interns make can have a real, lasting effect on the members we serve in communities across the country and around the world. And these contributions do not come solely from those with backgrounds in healthcare; Centene offers <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://jobs.centene.com/us/en/internship-page" target="_blank">a variety of diverse opportunities</a>, ranging from IT to data analytics, from clinical programs to member-facing services. Additionally, students can take advantage of Centene’s interactive, world class learning and development options, network with leaders in the industry, and form significant professional relationships that will continue to guide them long after their internship has ended.
The Summer Intern Experience also supports Centene’s overall strategy of filling the talent pipeline with an ever-growing, diverse, and competitive pool of emerging talent enterprise-wide. Each summer, Centene hosts more than 100 undergraduate and graduate students virtually and in-person, enabling them to learn from and contribute to a global healthcare leader that serves millions of valued members.
Our internships support the development of early-career professionals through targeted coaching, exposure, and mentoring from emerging leaders at Centene. The experience also centers on the theme of “Finding Your Purpose,” which enables interns to identify what drives them. As a purpose-driven company, our purpose has served as our roadmap as our enterprise has grown from a health insurer in a single state to the national leader in managed care. And we recognize that in much the same way, our interns will require their purpose to guide them through their many life and career journeys. Through training and education, networking, and opportunities to engage in meaningful work, we enable our interns to find and tap into their own purpose.
We know that our student interns could be the ones who change everything, and that’s why the Centene Summer Intern Experience provides interns with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to not only obtain a job and build a career, but to serve as leaders. In fact, to date, 37% of our intern class has been converted to either full-time or part-time positions at Centene, serving as valuable team members and as important ambassadors of our internship program.
From strategic recruitment of undergraduate and graduate students who want to tell the world they’re serious about helping people in need, no matter their background or area of focus, to providing student interns opportunities to do meaningful work that is making a real impact on our company and those we serve, the Centene Summer Intern Experience enables participants to learn more about our company and industry, more about their specific area of focus, more about the importance of teamwork and collaboration, and more about their own purpose.

Intern Experience

Centene has long embraced <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://jobs.centene.com/us/en/diversity-and-inclusion" target="_blank">a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion</a>. In fact, you could say that DEI is in our DNA. Since our founding by Elizabeth “Betty” Brinn in 1984, Centene has been committed to providing high-quality, culturally appropriate healthcare solutions to fit the individual needs of our members. At the same time, we have been focused internally on enhancing our inclusive work environment to celebrate the diverse perspectives, ideas, experiences, and cultures of our thousands of employees.
Supporting Diversity, Equity, &amp; Inclusion 
Employee Inclusion Groups 
Each of Centene’s interns are encouraged to join one or more of Centene’s employee-led Employee Inclusion Groups (EIGs). These groups are vital not only in helping bring together interns and employees of a similar background, but also in promoting allyship; each EIG is open to everyone, regardless of demographic.
 cPRIDE: Centene’s LGBTQ+ Employee Inclusion Group, cPRIDE, supports an inclusive work environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and all other employees within the spectrum of gender and sexuality. The group promotes the ability of all Centene employees to bring their full selves to work, ultimately enhancing employee engagement and retention.
ABILITY: The People with Disabilities &amp; Caregivers Employee Inclusion Group, ABILITY, focuses on education, accessibility, talent enhancement, and community involvement. The group challenges the stereotypes and stigma associated with people with disabilities and expands disability cultural competency.
CENVET: CENVET provides support and resources for employees who have served in the armed forces and those related to a service member. The EIG offers advice and recommendations regarding issues relevant to veterans and military families, while helping Centene further veteran outreach and talent development.
I.N.S.P.I.R.E.: Centene’s Women’s Employee Inclusion Group, I.N.S.P.I.R.E. (Influence. Network. Support. Promote. Include. Recognize. Empower.), aims to help its members meet their professional goals. It leverages targeted development sessions, mentoring, and community engagement to grow women as leaders and prepare them to take on opportunities at all levels of the company.
MOSAIC: Centene’s Multicultural Inclusion Group, MOSAIC, provides peer support for employees of all racial and ethnic backgrounds through networking, mentoring, and coaching. It also promotes education and awareness, and supports employee engagement and retention.
Virtual Internships
Centene's annual Summer Intern Experience is designed to identify and develop a diverse and competitive pool of emerging professionals for potential full-time employment. In 2020 and 2021, Centene mobilized to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by providing students with a full internship experience from a remote work environment. Nearly 200 interns each year joined teams across the enterprise to address real business challenges, participate in mentoring sessions with People Leaders, attend networking and DEI events with their peers, and take part in workforce development.
Internship Recruitment
Centene’s internship program is committed to recruiting a diverse and inclusive group of early career students. Through active sponsorship of Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) — a conference for LGBTQ+ MBA talent — and The Consortium, an organization that links diverse students, MBA programs, and corporate partners, Centene is able to attract future talent and leaders to the company. To date, 37% of our intern class has been converted to either full-time or part-time positions at Centene.
