Elevance Health Powers Career Growth Through New Education and Development Opportunities

Indianapolis, IN - September 18, 2025 -Elevance Health today announced an expansion of its associate benefits, introducing new education and professional development opportunities, including a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) fluency, designed to help associates build critical skills, adapt to emerging technologies, and advance their careers. These programs will not only empower associates to responsibly leverage AI and other innovations in their work but also enable them to deliver an even greater impact in improving health outcomes for the people and communities they serve.

"Our associates set Elevance Health apart with the knowledge and compassion they bring to their work every day," said Ryan Craig, Executive Vice President of Human Relations at Elevance Health. "By expanding access to AI-focused training alongside broader learning opportunities, we are preparing our people to grow their careers while ensuring we continue to build the skills needed to lead in a dynamic business environment and deliver an enhanced healthcare experience for the people we are privileged to serve."

The initiatives include:

• AI Certification through OpenAI Certifications: A collaboration with OpenAI will give associates the opportunity to earn formal certifications in artificial intelligence fluency, ranging from foundational skills like prompt engineering to advanced AI-enabled work.
• Debt-Free Degree Pathways: New partnerships with Colorado Technical University (CTU) and American InterContinental University (AIU) will provide associates with pathways to earn degrees at no cost, supported through tuition assistance and university grants. The program complements existing tuition assistance benefits to enable fully-funded education.
• Expansion of Enterprise Skills Academy (ESA): Expansion of internal skills academy and learning programs will include courses that address topics such as AI principles, human-centered design, and data literacy, that help build foundational workplace skills and enable enhanced capabilities. More than 38,000 associates have already completed over 66,000 courses, reflecting strong engagement in continuous learning.

The new benefits reflect Elevance Health's commitment to investing in its workforce and preparing them to thrive in a rapidly changing business economy. Through these partnerships and expanded internal training programs, associates will have access to innovative resources that support lifelong learning.

"AI can be a powerful driver of economic opportunity when people have the skills and training to use it," said Giancarlo "GC" Lionetti, chief commercial officer at OpenAI. "With OpenAI Certifications, Elevance Health associates can build practical fluency, put these tools to work in their daily roles, and grow their careers, showing how intelligence can deliver real benefits to the people and communities they serve."

The expanded benefits will roll out in phases beginning later this year, with associates encouraged to explore the new programs as they become available.
