Internship placement would be great. Fighting to even get interns lately though. All management talks about is "efficiency" these days.
Using a SE 1-5 scale where 1 is junior - I'm generally talking about companies (or at least my current employer) preferring to hire SE2 rather than SE1. An SE2 is maybe 50% more expensive than an SE1 at {current employer} while an SE4 is about 3x an SE1.
A very small company I worked at basically only hired juniors right out of school but with the understanding that they'd stay on for at least a couple years to help out. The CEO was an engineer in the code though: fun shop. I trained 2 juniors there to competency... But it was a significant investment to do so.
