One Off Event Volunteer (Autumn Explorers) | Tue 13 & Fri 16 October
National Museums Scotland is currently looking for volunteers to help support our Autumn Explorers events at The National Museum of Rural Life, East Kilbride.
We are looking for enthusiastic and friendly individuals to join our Learning & Engagement team as volunteers.
What’s involved?
Volunteers will help support our storytelling, craft and hands-on activities for Autumn Explorers of all ages.
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.

See breakdownIt 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.
Why you're a good match
You’ve got the grades and the economics background, and your bank internship is exactly the experience this scheme looks for. Apply soon — deadlines close within the month.
Experience fit
Your summer at the bank plus your econometrics coursework map directly to the day-one responsibilities on this scheme — client modelling, market briefings, and deal support.
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.
If you are good with people and like to get stuck in, this could be perfect for you. You can sign up for a half or a whole day on either the Tuesday or the Friday to suit your availability.
For more information, please see our Volunteer Role Description.
You must be over 16 to volunteer at this event.
How do I sign up?
