What work experience to put on spring week CV?

2 Quick Qs: during sixth form I managed to gain work experience in a small PE firm and another small AM firm. Will this work experience suffice for applying to IB spring weeks or should I pursue more IB related work experience eg corporate advisory? Secondly, if I can’t secure any IB related work experience, can you use the virtual work experiences on Forage website or are they not rlly valued at all bcs they are open-access and only one day long?
