An easy transition from college life to a career in technology
Healthfirst has launched a new program that offers recent college graduates a smooth transition into the tech workforce. Our 24-month IT Early Career Development Program is designed to kick-start an exciting and rewarding career in technology.
Associates will be placed as full-time employees in meaningful roles, where they will gain valuable experience as IT professionals and develop as Trailblazers.

The program provides early-career hires with:
  • Dedicated mentorship with industry leaders
  • A collaborative learning environment of smaller cohorts of associates who are also new to Healthfirst.
  • 1:1 mentorship with program managers to discuss career paths and growth opportunities 
  • Training tailored to the associate’s role, focusing on fine-tuning existing skill sets and gaining new, in-demand industry skills. 
  • A professional network of peers and senior leaders.
  • An opportunity to do impactful work while developing professionally and technically.
  • An opportunity to pay it forward and mentor the next class of associates.

At the end of the program a graduation ceremony will be held to celebrate the success of each associate and their assignment to a specific team as an experienced member.
