Assignment Details
Two-hour assignment
The total core assignment will be approximately two hours, structured as follows:
A. Advance preparation and document review — 45 minutes
Before the consultation, LAS will provide a concise review pack. The adviser should review these materials before the consultation and identify major issues, gaps and UK opportunities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
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.

During the consultation, LAS will seek the adviser’s views on:
- UK policy and economic priorities relevant to Malaysia.
- UK–Malaysia trade and investment opportunities.
- CPTPP and JETCO mechanisms.
- UK laws, regulations, standards and conformity-assessment considerations.
- The realism of proposed UK investments and partnerships.
- Opportunities in education, agriculture, legal services, SMEs, Islamic finance, standards, technology and emerging sectors.
- Potential UK involvement in advanced materials, magnets, recycling, environmental assurance, financing and lawful imports.
- Political, regulatory, commercial and reputational risks.
- Claims or recommendations that should be corrected, qualified or removed.
C. Written close-out comments — 15 minutes
After the consultation, the adviser will provide a short email or annotated note identifying:
- The five most important recommendations, corrections or risks.
