Externship Details:

Organization Description:
Centene Corporation, a Fortune 60 (soon to be Fortunate 25) company, is a diversified, multi-national healthcare enterprise that provides a portfolio of services to government sponsored and commercial healthcare programs, focusing on under-insured and uninsured individuals. Centene works with more than 14 million members in government-sponsored healthcare programs. By delivering healthcare locally, our members are also our family, friends and neighbors. Quality healthcare is best delivered locally. Our local approach enables us to provide accessible, high quality and culturally sensitive healthcare services to our members.

Sponsor's Responsibilities:
As Director of IT Supplier Performance Management, the sponsor is responsible for a small, geographically diverse team that manages the 'business of IT' through Centene's relationships with third party information technology service providers. This team works with leaders of all IT technology areas (application development, production support, infrastructure) and business owners to maximize the results from these supplier relationships. Externs will also meet with other IT professionals from other disciplines (see Duties below).

Extern's Proposed Duties:
Externs will be given an immersive experiential interview opportunity with IT leaders and individual contributors from multiple disciplines including cyber-security, application development and support, and supplier management (more areas to be added if possible). Externs will learn how each of these disciplines helps Centene provide superior service to our beneficiaries and what skills externs should develop at UCB to prepare for these fields. Externs will be afforded the opportunity to ask questions regarding career path options, career development, and guidance on how to land that first job as well as build a lifelong career.
