BlueSky Tennessee Institute, a tech workforce development program by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) in partnership with East Tennessee State University (ETSU), graduated its first class in December. The program, which offers a bachelor’s degree in computing along with hands-on internships and a job offer in just 27 months, saw all eligible students accept job offers from BCBST. The graduates began their careers with the company last month in January.
