Introduction to IB

I've seen a couple of posts recently about freshmen asking about getting an intro to banking and the process. I was wondering if anyone here had a post or website they know that would be ideal to send a freshman or sophomore who wants to get into banking and has to learn from scratch? Basically looking for a good intro resource into investment banking as a career and recruiting.
