I moved a guy forward in an interview process once who had literally zero corporate experience at all. It was for a senior website engineer position, and the guy had somehow never had a job before in his life at like 45 years old. He played in a band for a while, and was a stay at home dad after that. I moved him forward because he was a really interesting guy, he seemed passionate about creating things, and his technical aptitude was passable and could be improved. He didn't make it past the other stages of the interview process, but I was definitely ready to give him a chance.
That sounds like good traits for a junior or internship role.
