What can I do to improve my chances of obtaining an IB internship next summer?

Hello,

I am currently a first year student at a target school in Scandinavia, I did not manage to land a spring week internship but I really want to get an IB internship next summer. I have quite good grades and I am working as a controller at a major bank at their capital markets department. I will have lots of time during the summer when I am not working and I was wondering if there is anything that I can do to improve my chances of getting interviews? Perhaps take a course in financial modelling? Other certificates? Start trading?

Thank you
