[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very hard for first years (rising sophomores) to get substantive internships in CS or tech in general.  DS just finished first year with top grades at top school.  Every first year he knows who got a summer internship they got through parental connections (arm twisting) or as part of DEI oriented program.  It feels like a continuation of the college admissions process with legacy / DEI focus.  Most internships are oriented toward rising juniors and seniors.  Kid is working on 2024 internship programs and waiting tables this summer.  Not aggrieved but simply reality.[/quote]

Very hard to get internships going into sophomore year without parent connections or diversity cohort programs. I’d recommend contacting small companies that may not pay as well or not have a defined program - especially if friends or acquaintances of parents. Another option is teaching at STEM summer camps so they have a better chance for Junior or Senior summer. Depending on the school too, they could do research at their schools. This also is a bit competitive depending on looking my for paid vs. unpaid.  I’ve seen CS students help in other departments such as Bio to help with their CS needs.[/quote]
