I would advise them to do literally anything because the economy is a hot mess.

I have seen an uptick in MLM posts lately so I’d be sure to point out that MLMs are scams and will hurt if you have it in your resume or LinkedIn profile.

If they are well off enough to not need the money... sign up for classes.

Learn to code, build an app. Work with parents and their friends to see if you can help out. People may still want to go to cabins during the summer, so someone to help with admin may be valuable

I would tell them to go have fun doing whatever they want (professional or non-professional) because everyone will understand the void of an internship on their resume. If they pass the covid19 antibody test, there’s probably a lot of meaningful work they can do as well.

Keep on the school grind. Do technology certifications (excel, UI path, tableau). If you can find a side gig, cool but focus on learning. Everyone will understand the gap in your resume for this summer.

Take more classes to graduate early, build some hard skills such as coding on data camp, learning sales force

May even settle for a lesser internship as long as it’s paid and decently respectable or helps facilitate learning skills

Shouldnt they already have summer offers for this year at this point?

Many internship programs are getting cancelled unfortunately.
