What Sets Spectrum's Internship Experience Apart

Interns at Spectrum don’t just observe – they contribute. Students in the Company’s 10-week, paid summer internship program have the opportunity to kick-start their careers while getting valuable hands-on experience. With internships available on teams across the Company, students can explore early career opportunities in areas like marketing, sales, data analysis, computer science and human resources in addition to tech-focused roles.

Here’s what college students can expect from an internship at Spectrum:

  • Meaningful, real-world projects. Interns apply classroom learning to essential business functions that drive the Company forward.
  • Mentorship and professional development. Every intern is paired with a mentor and has access to development workshops and learning resources.
  • Exposure to teams across the organization. Interns collaborate with multiple departments, building broad professional networks.
  • Opportunities to develop specialized skills and help tackle challenges central to telecommunications. For Software Engineering & Development interns, this means coding and troubleshooting.
  • A culture that values learning and connection. Many interns have started – and continued – their careers with Spectrum as full-time employees.

Vault’s 2026 rankings are based on surveys completed by thousands of current and former interns during summer 2025. The rankings highlight programs that deliver the most valuable, hands-on experiences across nearly 250 companies and 30 categories.
