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.

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.
This is an opportunity to build lasting programme and project management capability across the organisation, mentor and develop your team, and leave a legacy of stronger delivery practice that outlasts the programme itself.
You'll need to be a confident, credible leader, someone who can hold an external delivery partner to account, navigate central government requirements and commercial complexity, and communicate with equal ease across the Executive, the Board and delivery teams on the ground. A recognised programme qualification, such as MSP or APM, and a strong track record of leading complex change through to benefits realisation are essential.
