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.
This programme is designed for those who want to shape the business from a strategic support perspective, not for those looking to return to operational areas.
From here, you’ll have a community of support
While you’re on our graduate journey, we’re committed to providing you with a range of opportunities to grow and develop your skills. Alongside job rotations and technical training, you’ll be provided with comprehensive behavioural skills training with our expert partner, Cappfinity. This will enable you to harness your strengths from day one and identify new ways to utilise the key Skills That Build Skills. This will support you to reach your potential and goals, shaping your career path. The behavioural skills training is immersive, including interactive sessions where you can learn from our facilitators and your own peers, and self-led elements to support your application of learning back in your day-to-day role.
Our graduate programmes have been designed to give you the chance to shape your own career path and personal development, with the support you need to succeed. You’ll have access to a graduate buddy and a senior mentor within your field who can advise you on rotations and introduce you to key people within the business.
RWE is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment – we value your passion, your willingness to learn, and your desire to thrive. Even if you don't have all the above skills, need flexible working arrangements, or other adjustments not yet listed here, we'd love to hear from you.
Your benefits
At RWE, we’ll do everything we can to support you in fulfilling your potential. Our benefits include:
- Competitive salary plus annual discretionary bonus.
