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.

What will you be doing?

As a trustee you’ll have an essential role in contributing towards the future direction of the Education Village Academy Trust. We are an inclusive mixed Multi Academy Trust (MAT) of 7 local schools, including 1 secondary, 4 mainstream primary and 1 special primary, and 1 special all through school. This year we’re expecting to expand our Trust and the board will be leading that change. Our board has a close relationship with our senior management team, and prides itself on being very friendly and relaxed. We also have sub-committees that provide accountability for finance, premises, staffing and education. As a local governor you will help to support our existing schools as we look to sustain or improve our existing Ofsted ratings.
