Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

What you'll do at work

Main roles and responsibilities:

  • Working within a manufacturing environment.
  • Working on sheet metal, both stainless and aluminium at varying thicknesses.
  • Cutting bending and welding varying materials to be fitted onto builds for customers.
  • Learning new welding and manufacturing techniques.
  • Moving around the departments within the company working on thicker materials and more complex welds, and the preparation of chassis ready for equipment to be mounted.
  • Gaining a basic knowledge of hydraulic systems.
  • Working with a full range of hand tools and learning how to follow engineering drawings.

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.
