Spectrum Resources
Broadcast 04/01/01
Spectrum Resources is a non-profit job training and life-facilitating company that deals in restoration, both of the houses they reconstruct and of the lives they help get on track. Spectrum's student/workers are people who have had trouble fitting into society; some are ex-convicts, others are ex-drug addicts, most are unemployed. Spectrum's combination of classroom and on-the-job training helps them become productive citizens. Since its inception in 1995, Spectrum has helped nearly 200 men and women toward a better life, through their training in construction and heavy machine operation and in their instruction on what it means to have a job. Jerald Brantley, the driving force behind Spectrum, grew up in a tough neighborhood in Akron, Ohio and it was his early experiences that today give him a rapport with his clients.
