Student Intern - Legal Services/Provider Contracting

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont hires Vermont college students each summer to provide them an opportunity for a corporate experience in their field or area of interest, while also bringing value to our organization. Our paid intern positions provide meaningful, interesting work in your area of study. Interns work 40 hours per week, Monday – Friday during the summer.

Interns are encouraged to dive into our corporate culture of caring, participating in the various health and wellness initiatives of our STRIVE Program, or volunteering at a community event as a member of our Blue Crew. They are also given the opportunity to present their summer’s body of work to their colleagues and our executive team in August.

REMOTE WORK: Blue Cross is requiring all employees who live within a 50-mile radius of the office to work onsite on Wednesdays (unless an exemption is granted). Interns will be expected to follow this same requirement. Some interns may be required to work onsite more than one day a week, as per the need within their department.
