An exciting opportunity to work for HTC
An exciting opportunity to work for HTC as part of a highly skilled workforce that is committed to quality.
The course is fully supported with all the training you require to become fully qualified. With the rapid increase in the complexity of today’s trucks – and the technology needed to keep them up and running – first-class training for those involved in the vital servicing and maintenance of these vehicles has become more important than ever.
The HTC Apprentice Programme gives you the chance to join a select group of specialist technicians working on some of the most modern, sophisticated trucks on the road.
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.
