The easiest and most affordable option is to get a job in the tax office for a part-time job or practice, people are always needed there. Direction - administration of systems for receiving electronic reporting via the Internet, you won’t earn money, but there will be a lot of good and different experience.
The second option is to try to get a job with a system integrator of information security solutions. Recently, a lot of them have divorced and students are taken there with a bang. Again a good experience.

Even if you don’t go to this particular place after graduation, some knowledge will be practical.
I had 4 trainees - one I, after (how many there are from practice to diploma, 1.5 years?), I was looking for to call for a job. The job search was no longer relevant for the guy.
