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.

After the Apprenticeship

Your earnings can increase over time with an apprenticeship. Our aim is to develop the apprentice into a confident and capable member of the IEP office team, with the opportunity to progress into a permanent administrative role once the apprenticeship is successfully completed. As their knowledge, confidence and experience grow, they will gradually take on more responsibility and become involved in a wider range of business administration activities. This could include handling customer and job enquiries, supporting the day-to-day running of the office, liaising with customers and suppliers, and taking greater responsibility for administrative processes.
