Some questions regarding internships?

Hey monkeys,

I am starting an Economics and Business course at WU Vienna this October. As IB internships are pretty much non-existent in Vienna, I will most likely have to go to Frankfurt or Zurich for experience.
Is it possible to do any kind of relevant internship in those two cities during the first year? Or would I have to wait until the second?
What are some of the recommended steps I could take in order to give myself the best shot at securing an internship?
Also, if you've completed internship in either of those two cities, I'd love to hear about your experiences.
