Year Two – International Opportunity

Subject to business requirements, performance, and placement availability, participants may have the opportunity to undertake an international Brand Ambassador assignment in a key global market. This unique experience provides exposure to consumer engagement, trade advocacy, education, and brand activation in a live market environment.

The successful candidate will help develop and execute campaigns that drive visitation, increase online sales, and strengthen brand awareness across key audiences.

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.
