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.

The closing date guidance, if a successful candidate is found before the advertised dates, the advert will close early.

Rosemount is a family owned business. It was opened by Marilyn Sparks in April 1996 following years of fostering children in her home. On her retirement in 2007, Marilyn’s son in law, Ed Smith, took over Rosemount and both his children have been educated there. Rosemount prides itself on being an independent, family owned business. We combine unstructured play with traditional teaching methods where the older children are taught phonics, number work and other skills, such as baking, craft making and art, in small groups. As well as preparing children for academic life, we also teach them about nature and the environment. We grow fruit and vegetables, which the children harvest and we encourage children to have respect for animals, including the bugs and other creatures who visit our mature garden.

Your earnings can increase over time with an apprenticeship. Find out about potential future pay (opens in new tab). There is a possibility of being offered a full time role after successful completion of the apprenticeship.
