Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.

Why choose an Apprenticeship?
-
Gain skills and qualifications. Doing an Apprenticeship involves “on-the-job" and “off the job” training. Apprentices can build up knowledge and skills, gain qualifications and earn money all at the same time.
-
Earn while you learn. Apprentices are trained in the skills they need to become a fully qualified member of staff. As they progress through their qualifications, they become more valuable employees and their earning abilities will increase accordingly.
