INROADS Internships

WellPoint is strongly committed to both diversity, and to developing future leaders. That's why we're particularly proud to support the INROADS Internship Program.

In response to growing demand from businesses for talented, qualified people of color, INROADS was established in 1970 to identify interested, capable high school, college and university students who would pursue business, engineering, technical, and allied health care careers.

The INROADS Program recruits only the best students of color for pre-professional internship opportunities, and mandates that participating students maintain a B or better average.

INROADS helps businesses gain greater access to diverse talent through continuous leadership development of outstanding students of color, and placement of those students in internships at many of North America's top corporations, firms and organizations.

Today, INROADS graduates are pursuing professional and managerial careers in engineering, retailing, banking, accounting, manufacturing and telecommunications. Within that prestigious group, they proudly report that many of the alumni are successful corporate presidents and vice presidents. Others hold middle management to senior executive positions in both the public and private sectors. Still, many more have gone on to become successful independent entrepreneurs.
