Trading Internship useful for IB?

Hey everyone,

I'm a rising sophomore at a target school, and I'm trying to gain some relevant experience before junior year IB recruiting. I saw a posting for a trading internship my sophomore year on handshake and decided to apply. I'm just wondering how useful that would be for a BB SA program my junior summer. If it's not that relevant, what else should I aim for sophomore summer? Thanks!
