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.

We have committed to bring West Yorkshire’s buses back under public control by using franchising powers created by the Bus Services Act 2017. This decision was made by the Mayor in March 2024. Franchising will see the Combined Authority take control of fare box revenue for most bus services in the region and become responsible for setting fares and tickets, as well as for managing the delivery of this service to customers.

On 12th May 2025, we unveiled the Weaver Network as the overarching brand identity of an integrated public transport system in West Yorkshire, in line with the vision of the emerging Mayor’s West Yorkshire Local Transport Plan.
