Experience for Corporate Banking Role.

What experience would you consider relevant for corporate banking.

I'm still a university student and looking to land a grad role as a corporate banker - I have just started building experience for this role specifically.

Are there any online resources that I could use to build my experience?
I saw some courses on forage such as IB, commercial banking, global banking & markets, business banking - would any of these courses help me build some experience I could talk about in interviews?
Any advice is really appreciated.

“Concise - gave reasoning for why each action was taken so that I know what I did wrong and right.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Really strong session; we spent most of it on technicals and he worked through them properly with me rather than just handing over the answer, then pushed me to explain them back in my own words. The most useful feedback was on delivery: he spotted that I speed up when I’m nervous and told me to slow down, which instantly made my answers sound more confident and considered. He also pushed me to name specific firms and deals instead of speaking in generalities, and reframed how I answer “why not return to your previous firm”; lead with what attracts me to the new platform, not what I didn’t like about the old one. We sharpened the closing line of my “tell me about yourself” so it actually lands on why I want tech IB, and he helped me build a question list for an upcoming call with a senior associate. Knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely easy to talk to.”
