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.

Every day is different, giving you the opportunity to learn, develop, and build confidence in a customer-facing role.

What's It Really Like?

"I expected the role to be mainly sales-focused, but it's so much more. Every day is different – from visiting construction sites and meeting customers to working with engineers to solve technical challenges. Seeing a project go from an initial enquiry to equipment arriving safely on site is incredibly rewarding."
One of our current graduates also told us:

"You don't need to be an engineer before you join. MGF gives you the training – you just need to be willing to learn and get stuck in."
