I think it definitely depends on the size of the org and the challenges they are currently facing.
Based on our past experience, our next entry level dev would start with a practice project and then once they're up to speed, we'd either have them working refactoring tasks or a fairly segmented project while we get them up to speed on other things we're working on.
But I'd love to hear what others are doing.
One more note: It's great when an entry-level dev is able to chip in where necessary in able to contribute, but we should all make sure we don't get pigeonholed into doing the kind of work we conveniently took on early in our jobs.
Going through this currently with my first gig and it's worked wonders on proving what I didn't know I knew while also showing me a quick path to knowing what I don't.
Especially when you're able to closely collab with your team through the practice project. It will educate both sides into the workflow of that person/ the company and shows good habits to get into while building your process.
