How BlueCross Supports Veterans at Work
Nov. 11, 2026
Columbia, South Carolina, is one of the few places in the country to be recognized for its support* for the military, veterans, and their families. This support is also evident at BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, one of the largest employers in the area.
We proudly employ more than 650 veterans from all branches of the military. Veterans work across the company in a variety of roles.
Our talent acquisition team looks for people who want to grow their careers with us. The strong sense of mission that comes with a military background fits well with this goal.
Part of this work means our talent team gets involved with local military organizations, such as the South Carolina National Guard. BlueCross’ dedicated talent team often works with the military and veteran service organizations to support the transition from military to civilian life for veterans and military spouses.
Several recruiters for the company have military backgrounds. This means they can understand military resumes, which can be different from civilian resumes. These recruiters offer partnerships to help military members translate their service and skills to the workforce through workshops.
Support doesn’t stop once veterans are hired.
The company’s Military Business Resource Group brings service members, veterans, military spouses, family members, and advocates together. The group supports talent referrals, mentoring, and outreach efforts. The hiring team leans on the group to help place prospective employees.
But aside from hiring support, the group gives veterans opportunities to volunteer at events in the community and hosts its own social events.
The Military Business Resource Group offers a safe space to connect, share resources, and serve their communities.
BlueCross recognizes the important skills veterans bring to the workplace. We employ people with a variety of backgrounds, experience, and skills. This is key to having a well-rounded workforce.
Veterans’ unique education, training, and work experiences are essential to support our mission, vision, and goals. This aligns with our values-based culture.
We are fortunate that the talent of veterans is integrated in all levels of the organization, from senior management to early-career roles.
