OP - It might be wise to use this summer between freshman and sophomre year in college to make the student more appealing for an internship position in college or in summers between.  Consider what avenues may enhance your individual student's options such as seeking volunteer work in the area of interest, taking a skills based college or possible workshop directly related to a possible internship - a language, a computer program, a summer cooking or arts workshop for adults, or a limited summer experience that might involve both using a language or other skills and in a different setting in the USA or say Latin America.   If you have a daughter, one might consider looking for a sitter position (part-time) for a child or teen with special needs as this experience could be applied to many different areas such as a career in teaching, medicine, nursing or any of the related therapies.  ( A fellow could also do this.) The idea is to help them realte something they do in the summer to a career interest if possible to get an internship.  I have been hiring college students for 20 years now do something weekly in the community with our daughter and have helped write recommendations for graduate school in teaching and related therapies, law school, local scholarships at the university, summer internships etc.    [/quote]
