COLLEGE GRADUATES “Spectrum offers new graduates a great first step in their career. Finding a job after graduating is a frightening and, at the same time, exciting experience. A workplace that is both challenging and nurturing is very difficult to come across. That is exactly what I have found in Spectrum. In school, we are taught an academic perspective on how the business world works; it gives a sense of what to expect. When I started at Spectrum, it seemed like what I had learned was thrown for a loop, and in doing so, provided me with invaluable experiences. I was challenged to think differently, to apply my knowledge in different ways, and most importantly, to work in a team. Here, I have experienced teamwork, and every person on the team is always willing to help. When I started, I had my mentor, and she showed me a lot. I think it is necessary to have one person you can turn to for guidance. I learn something new every day, and I think this is crucial to having a successful life and career. This environment is challenging, which is exactly what I was looking for.” -- Two graduates from Lonestar College & Texas State University
