Required Skills
Are you currently working as an Equine Groom and interested in a career in horseracing? Or maybe you are looking to return to racing after a break?
We are rebuilding a talent pool of motivated individuals looking to take the next step into the industry. We have top racehorse trainers waiting to hear from you. It's an opportunity to be supported, assessed, and matched with suitable roles as they become available.
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.
