Where to look for a job of you're a freshman?

After we moved to USA my partner got suck in a form of job limbo. The previous occupation would require getting diploma equivalent in USA, so we looked for a decent intensive boot camp. Turns out there is some talent and skill, but.. hardly any responses from job market. The question is: what is the best way to start working in the it industry in Seattle? Where to look for the initial job? Or maybe a decent internship, even if unpaid, that would keep my partner in the business? We're looking for a front end developer position, angular, reactjs, angularjs, with type script, css, html, optionally some backend job around Ruby on Rails. They did learn how to work with restful apis and how to craft new ones if they need to build some backend services. Add firebase to that. The upside is that they have done some internship after the school and have a working experience, short but still some, working on a real project, in a team, with version control system. The learning process made perfect sense, as the entire school and following internship was revolving around real life cases and building legitimate projects: students leave with an actual portfolio on GitHub
