Ready to make an impact this summer? The Cigna Group’s Human Resources Leadership Development Program (HRLDP) Summer Associate Internship is a 10-week immersive experience designed to launch your career in HR. You’ll take on meaningful, high-impact projects aligned with our talent strategy, all while working side-by-side with experienced HR leaders across a variety of functions.

Before we move on, let us tell you a little more about us. We’re a global health service company dedicated to helping people improve their health, well-being and peace of mind. But we don’t just care about your well-being, we care about your career health too.  That’s why when you work with us, you can count on a different kind of career - you’ll make a difference, learn a ton, and share in changing the way people think about healthcare.

As an HRLDP Summer Associate, you won’t just learn about Human Resources—you’ll live it. We’ll help you shape the career you want through hands-on work, mentorship, and exposure to senior leaders who are passionate about developing future HR trailblazers.

What You’ll Experience:

• Real Work, Real Impact: You’ll be embedded in one of our HR Centers of Expertise (COEs), where you’ll tackle a project that matters—building your technical skills, business savvy, and leadership potential.

• Mentorship That Matters: You’ll be paired with a dedicated HR mentor who’s there to guide, support, and cheer you on.

• Executive Exposure: Connect with senior HR and business leaders in intimate, high-impact forums.

• Showcase Your Skills: Wrap up your summer by presenting your project outcomes to our HR executive team—your moment to shine!

Your Summer, Supercharged:

• A customized development journey tailored to your strengths and goals.

• Experiential learning through speaker series, workshops, and networking events.

• Leadership growth guided by our competency-based development model.

• A tight-knit community of peers and program alumni who’ve been where you are.

• Opportunities to give back through community outreach and volunteer events.

Why It Matters:

• This internship is more than a summer gig—it’s your gateway to a full-time role in our HRLDP. Those who join us full-time will rotate through three dynamic HR roles (12 months each), gaining a 360° view of HR and building a strong foundation for leadership.

Who We’re Looking For:

• First-year Master’s students in HR, Labor Relations, or MBA programs with an HR focus.

• 1+ years of professional experience (HR experience preferred).
