Good Sophomore Internships for IB in Phoenix Area

Hello All,

I am currently a freshman trying to break into IB from a non-target university. Phoenix is an area I have traveled to before, and I hope to move down there next summer for a potential internship. Coming from a non-target school, I need to have relevant experience to even have a chance to get into the industry. While I do have an internship locked up for this summer at the FDIC, I know I will need something more relevant to IB on my resume to make me a stronger candidate. Are there any internships that you all recommend I should pursue in the Phoenix/surrounding area that would be relevant to IB? I would appreciate any recommendations.
