Product & Quality Specialist Apprentice

This is an exciting opportunity for an aspiring Product Specialist, passionate about fashion / textiles / garment construction. You'll gain exposure to product development, quality assurance, compliance, technical documentation and supplier engagement; building the technical expertise for a successful career in product technology.

Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.

The Product & Quality Specialist Apprentice will support Product Specialists and Buying teams in the development, evaluation and approval of fashion and textile products. Working across multiple product categories, you'll:

  • Contribute to activities throughout the product lifecycle, gaining practical experience in product development, quality assurance, testing, compliance and supplier collaboration.
  • Assist with product reviews, maintaining technical documentation, supporting critical path activities, coordinating samples and learning how products are assessed against quality, fit, performance and safety requirements.
  • Take ownership of individual tasks and projects while being supported by experienced colleagues and apprenticeship learning providers.

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.
