Run Your Own Company This Summer
You've worked hard your whole life. Sports, school, summer jobs and internships. You know what effort costs.
This summer, put it toward something real: your own business.
SWMP is an 8-month program (winter through fall) where you learn to run your own business. You'll spend the winter and spring building it from scratch (sales, hiring, planning).
Then run it all summer as the general manager.
You will handle real customers, a real crew, and will be responsible for a real P&L.
What you'll actually do:
- Build and lead your own crew: hiring, training, and managing people who count on you
- Sell and win your own customers before the season even starts
- Own your budget, your margins, and your bottom line
- Report on real numbers (revenue, costs, profit)
- You’ll work part-time during the first semester and full-time in the summer
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.
