Role Description

This is a remote programme role within the Valmont Investment Banking Executive Cohort | Finance & Career Accelerator programme. Interns will engage in structured learning modules focused on investment banking, financial analysis, and career readiness, completing weekly tasks and assignments through virtual platforms. Day-to-day activities include participating in live cohort sessions, preparing for and attending mock interviews, refining CVs and professional profiles, and applying learning to simulated deal and case study exercises. The role involves active collaboration with mentors, cohort peers, and career advisors to build technical knowledge, professional communication skills, and interview readiness. Fellows are expected to manage their schedules responsibly, meet deadlines, and contribute thoughtfully to discussions and group projects throughout the programme.

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.
