Halfords Autocentre Internship
Kickstart your career in the automotive industry with the Halfords Garage Internship! This programme is designed for college leavers who have completed a full-time Level 3 qualification and have little or no practical industry experience.
As an Intern, you’ll join one of our garages on a 6-month fixed-term contract, where you’ll put your skills and knowledge into practice while being coached and mentored by experienced technicians. During your placement, you’ll gain hands-on experience in tyre fitting, brakes, and servicing, building confidence and expertise along the way.
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.
