You’ll learn by doing, gaining hands-on experience in all areas of our business. From understanding the end-to-end customer journey, to training and working within our dynamic Contact Centre and UK Sales teams, you’ll gain invaluable insights into our key operations.
You’ll also explore the role of a Business Development Manager and our self-employed advisor model, as well as get to know our market-leading products, selling, installing, and experiencing them first-hand.

Throughout the programme, you’ll receive comprehensive management training, preparing you to apply for a management position within the company.
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.
