A smarter way to get hired as a Data Technician.
Most entry-level data jobs want experience you can't get without a job. We've built a different route in.
iO-Sphere works with employer partners to hire data analysts—but instead of filtering CVs, we select candidates through a 10-week fully-funded training programme where you prove what you can do with real data. Our partners then hire the best directly from the cohort
The whole thing is funded by Enterprise Oxford. Free for you. No fees for employers. Just a better way to match talent with opportunity.
How it works:
- Apply – Quick eligibility check and screening calls
- Join the cohort – 10 weeks working in PRISM, our simulated company with 500m+ rows of real data
- Build your portfolio – Develop skills in Excel, AI, Power BI, and data storytelling through real projects
- Interview with partners – Employers hire the best directly from our candidate pool
- Get placed – If not hired by one of our partners, you get 6 months of intensive career support until you land a role
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.
