Career in IT

I am 20 years old, I am a 2nd year student of "Informatics and Computing Engineering": where to go to work in IT, if the soul lies literally in everything except for the web frontend? How to get the first experience (internship or part-time job) if most of the vacancies are full-time oriented?
I know the basics of C ++ 14, Python, I am familiar with the basics of testing: I even wrote a training project for testing a site using Python + Selenium WebDriver. I am ready to invest in work all my free time from study, but I just can’t find something suitable.
Share your experience and give a couple of tips on where to move so as not to be without real skills after a bachelor's degree

It's hard, but if you put in the effort, you can find an internship for the summer. You just need to start looking from February and do it very actively. After a couple of internships, and as long as the same level of activity and perseverance is maintained, there is a chance of finding a part-time job. And in the fourth year, it is quite possible to agree with teachers and the dean's office on free attendance and switch to a full day.

Look for a teacher who stirs up his IT business, or manages something somewhere. Get a job with him for grades / students. Take him to graduation. The result is a real shameless thesis and three years of work experience in the asset.

One desire is not enough, show the result, make a couple of pet projects. In our company, students develop 2 remotely, ios and android work in their free time a couple of hours a day, no more than 4-5.

Why don't you like frontend? You probably have an outdated idea about this branch of IT. And it’s not far from the front to the full stack, and this is generally the top on the web.
In general, if you want to do really interesting things, then this is python, neural networks and others like them.
C++ is such a thankless business. For zp especially.
