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.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.
For this apprenticeship standard, learners will have the opportunity to focus on the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the standard that will enable good business acumen, decision-making and an understanding of tools and techniques related to time and project management. The completion of this apprenticeship standard will require monthly training visits from a qualified IPS Trainer to help support the apprentice. This will allow them to develop skills and progress the building of the apprentice portfolio to prepare the learner for the End Point Assessment.
Delivery is primarily carried out through remote visits, but the trainer will visit the learner’s workplace quarterly and at the start of training to allow for a good working relationship between all parties for smooth delivery of the standard. Upon successful completion, the learner will achieve the Level 3 Business Administrator Standard.
Essential qualifications:
- GCSE in:
- English and Maths (grade 4/C and above)
Share if you have other relevant qualifications and industry experience. The apprenticeship can be adjusted to reflect what you already know.
Shortlisted applicants will be required to complete an eligibility check phone call with IPS International, Apprenticeship Training Provider. Please note that your application cannot proceed without completing this call.
Enrolment in your apprenticeship programme is subject to prior attainment checks, and your Personal Learning Record will be reviewed upon successful appointment. We are also obligated to follow the guidelines around eligibility, set out by the government's apprenticeship funding rules.
