- Broaden your business acumen: In addition to building your finance expertise, you’ll gain valuable insight into core business functions like Operations, Commercial, and Human Resources
- Earn a globally recognized finance qualification: Alongside your placements, you’ll work towards earning the prestigious CIMA professional finance qualification, with full funding (subject to conditions) and dedicated learning support provided by Hilton
- Develop your skills through world-class training and support: Access Hilton University’s e-learning modules, and business library, while building knowledge through on-the-job and project-based learning; participate in tailored finance and leadership programmes and follow a flexible personal development plan designed to grow your technical and leadership capabilities

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
