We believe data and analytics are the keys to solving the biggest problems in health care. That’s why we’re investing in the Analytics Leadership Development Program (ALDP), aimed at developing future analytics and data science leaders for The Cigna Group and our divisions. We’re committed to hiring and developing the next generation of leaders who will combine their advanced technical skills with the business acumen, communication, and strategy necessary to tackle huge societal challenges.

Through the full-time and internship ALDP, associates will drive high-priority analytics and data science projects that create meaningful value for our customers and clients.  Members will also receive training and development, gain exposure to senior leaders, and build deep insight into one or more of our lines of business.

Upon completion, program members will have gained exposure to multiple lines of business, explored a variety of analytical areas, and developed core competencies around leadership, communication, and business acumen. 
Associates share more about the program and their experiences.

"My time in the ALDP program has been exactly what I needed/expected coming out of graduate school. Every day I am given the opportunity to not only continue developing my technical skills, but also grow my leadership skills. The program has given me numerous opportunities to take my career into my own hands. One aspect that I really appreciate is the opportunity to constantly provide feedback to program administrators and decision makers. I truly feel heard, and the action taken on my behalf is a rewarding and affirming feeling."
