Technical Associate — Alpha Testing Programme
About Illustra
Illustra is an AI-powered learning platform built to help students turn rough notes into clearer, more useful study material.
Ahead of our wider launch, we’re opening our Alpha Testing Programme to students who want early access and the opportunity to help shape the product.
About the Role
As an Illustra Technical Associate, you’ll get early access to Illustra and complete a short set of structured testing tasks.
You’ll use the platform as a normal student would — trying its features, seeing what works, spotting what doesn’t, and giving us honest feedback on your experience.
No coding, computer science or technical experience is required.
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.
