What to take from a PWM internship?

I'm currently an incoming sophomore at a semi-target school doing an internship at a private wealth management firm (that's what was recommended for me to do in my freshman summer). I hope to get an investment banking internship next summer as I plan on going into IB upon graduating. My boss is asking me what I want to learn and is willing to teach me anything he knows during whatever free time we have. I wanted to know, what I should be trying to learn or what I should focus on getting from my internship that could best help me in securing and succeeding in a potential investment banking role. Any help is appreciated!
