Try approaching companies for an internship. Company internships have a better value on your resume after you finish your course when employers look at you as a potential hire. As far as courses, you can do them anytime, but opportunity to do an internship is difficult to find. It is normal (although never acknowledged) for companies to consider candidates through referrals. So get in touch with your family and friend circle and forward your resume to companies. You'll need a letter from the training and placement department of your college certifying you're a bonafide student of the institution. Submit this letter along with a copy of your resume and credentials to the HR department of companies you know. Most companies do not pay a stipend to a 2 month inplant training session. However, the experience is crucial.
