About us
The Broughton based Industrial Academy, develops and delivers world class training for our customers in Operations. We take great pride in our ability to coach and up-skill colleagues whether they are already experienced or new to the business; ultimately enabling them to build the world’s finest Wings!
You’ll be working with a passionate and highly motivated team who have a wealth of knowledge covering production processes, lean tools/systems, manufacturing engineering and planning/logistics.
Additionally, we work closely with teams based in France, Germany, Spain and the US; you’ll get the opportunity to work collaboratively with these colleagues too. We’re an open, trusting team where both fun and accountability matter.
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.
