SWMP is looking for driven, coachable people to run their own business before they graduate through our 8-month Business Program, starting this winter and wrapping up in the fall.
You'll spend the off-season (winter/spring - first semester) preparing sales, planning, and recruiting your team with direct mentorship from people who've built real businesses themselves. Then you'll spend the summer as the general manager of your own operation: leading a crew, serving customers, and owning your financial results.

Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
- Winter and Spring: Business planning, sales training, and team recruitment, supported by hands-on coaching (You will be working half-time while going to classes)
- Summer: Full operational control. You run the business day to day (Full-time)
- Fall: Wrap-up, results review, and case-study-worthy outcomes for your resume
What we look for:
- Strong track record of sustained effort: academically, athletically, or otherwise. You don't shy away from hard work
- A bias toward ownership: you'd rather be responsible for the outcome than manage a piece of it
- Comfortable with direct, honest feedback and quick to apply it
- Genuinely curious about what you're capable of running something real
