Any internship opportunities for a self-taught programmer (beginner)?

I came from JC. I learnt programming on my own. Looking for an internship after NS as I wait for matriculation. Only interested if its coding related as it is my interest and can also apply what I've learnt. Don't exactly have much of a resume apart from some online courses and some mini toy projects. I'm thinking a teaching assistant job as it may require less development experience. Are there any such opportunities available?

Perhaps you can try applying for startups since they will have a smaller pool of applicants. You can also try to volunteer for a coding instructor role: I recommend Code In The Community.

It depends on your level of coding experience. There are a fair number of programmer internships that state they're looking for current Computer Science students, but if you have good enough coding skills and can prove it then it shouldn't be a problem that you haven't started uni. After all, Facebook and other tech companies have hired high-schoolers as full-time employees on the back of their programming abilities.

Here's a brief selection of programming internships:

Also, you should familiarise yourself with your employment rights as an intern. Don't get taken advantage of by employers.

All the best!

I came across quite a few internships opportunities that requires experience. Why do we need experience to be interns when the main objective is to gain experience through internships?
