Internships for early university / no former employment

internshipsfossstudentslobsters

A user on Lobsters, a rising freshman starting a computer science degree this fall, is asking for internship opportunities suitable for early university students with no former employment experience, though they may have FOSS contributions. The post adapts a template from previous job threads, requesting details such as company name, website, position, target applicant pool (e.g., 'graduating in 2030'), duration, location (including remote options worldwide/US/EU or onsite), description, tech stack, compensation, and contacts. The user encourages both listings and advice in comments. This reflects a common challenge for students seeking early career experience, especially in open-source communities.
