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.

Job Description
Ashoka started its activities in the DRC in 2024 and has elected 11 Fellows to date: outstanding social entrepreneurs fighting the status quo and improving the lives of many. We are looking for a motivated volunteer to support our fundraising efforts to expand and deepen our work in the country. The volunteer will identify possible funding partners, research them, work on outreach materials based on existing templates and possibly reach out to the prospects. We are particularly eager to reach out to companies using cobalt in their value chain given that DRC is a large producer.
