Many colleges have internship and co-op placement programs that require 2-4 semesters worth of work, usually during the summer semester, but often in large contiguous chunks. Often students start into the program after just 2 semesters. If 2 semesters is a year of college then many do deliver it. I went into the co-op program at my school and found another programming job myself for about 3 semesters worth of work total.
