Students Build Real-World Jobs Skills as Spectrum Interns

Choosing the right internship can shape the direction of your career. At Spectrum, our interns don’t just observe – they contribute, learn and grow through hands-on experience that prepares them for what’s next after graduation.

Our internship program was recently recognized in Vault’s 2026 Internship Rankings for Software Engineering & Development*, an industry benchmark for top internship experiences based on direct feedback from our interns.

More importantly, that feedback reflects what students actually gain during their time here: meaningful work, strong mentorship, and real career momentum.

Our 10-week, paid summer internship program offers students the opportunity to kick-start their careers while learning from talented members of our team.

With internships available on teams across our business, students can explore early career opportunities in areas like marketing, sales, data analysis, computer science and Human Resources in addition to tech-focused roles.

Take a look at what makes our program stand out:

 

  • Hands-on experience with real impact: From day one, our interns work on projects that support our business – not busywork. Whether you’re working in the tech space or with another team, you’ll contribute to work that helps improve our systems, processes and customer experience.
  •  Technical skills that translate to your career: No matter your team, you’ll gain practical experience that stands out on a resume. You’ll build in-demand skills like problem-solving, collaboration and project execution – with tech roles also developing other key areas like coding, automation and system support.
  •  Mentorship from experienced pros: You’ll be paired with a mentor who provides guidance, feedback, and insight into their day-to-day work. You’ll learn best practices, gain exposure to real challenges and get advice from professionals who’ve built successful careers.
  • Exposure to teams and career paths: Spectrum interns collaborate across teams and departments, helping you understand how technology supports a complex, enterprise-scale business. Along the way, you’ll build relationships and expand your professional network—often well beyond your immediate team.
  • A supportive, learning-focused culture: On our team curiosity is encouraged and growth is supported. Many interns go on to return full-time after graduation, continuing to build their careers with the same teams they worked with during their internship.

 

“This is a special form of recognition for us because it’s based on our interns’ feedback about their personal experience,” said Jake Perlman, Spectrum’s Executive Vice President, Chief Technology & Information Officer. “It confirms the experience we’re giving students is hands-on, meaningful and valuable.”
