Developing the Next Generation of Leaders with Spectrum Scholars

Quality matters, which is why 100% of our 95,000 employees are based in the United States. It’s also why we make long-term investments to support our workforce and their career growth and why we invest in developing the next generation of Charter leaders.

Spectrum Scholars is a two-year scholarship and professional development initiative to help support the needs and aspirations of rising college juniors with financial need through a combination of scholarships, mentorships, and opportunities to explore possible internships at Charter. Now accepting applications for its fifth class, more than $1.5 million in scholarships have been awarded through Spectrum Scholars since 2020.

Incorporating mentorship was an important aspect of this program for us. 

• More than 90% of workers who have a mentor say they’re satisfied with their jobs (CNBC/SurveyMonkey)
  • 57% say they are “very satisfied” 
• 81% of Millennials that have a mentor remain with a company for 5+ years (Deloitte)
• 75% of executives say mentoring has been critical to their career development (American Society for Training and Development Survey)

We’re delivering prioritized, personalized customer service across all aspects of our business, which requires quality talent. That’s why we invest in our workforce and encourage them to build long-term careers with us – from apprenticeships and programs like Spectrum Scholars to employee-driven career progression and continuing education opportunities.
