About the job
The International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) has set a strategic goal to enrich the education of five million young people each year by 2032, in ways that enable human and planetary flourishing. Achieving this ambition depends on strong, trusted relationships with IB World Schools and partners, supported by clear, consistent and engaging communications.
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.
