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.
Why Partner with Us?
We collaborate closely with leading organisations to place our students at the heart of the events industry. Many of our partners are recognised in our annual Top 3 Places to Work in the Events Industry—and we’d love your company to be part of this programme.
Our dedicated students bring real-world skills:
- Trained in event design, project management, and execution.
- Developing critical soft skills: strong work ethic, teamwork, and resilience.
- Eager to apply their knowledge in professional settings like yours.

Costs & Considerations
Students accept placements as part of their accredited programme, so they may not always receive salaries. However, to ensure fair and inclusive access to work experience, we encourage:
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
- Providing at least the UK Real Living Wage to recognise students’ contributions and support their essential living and travel costs.
Remote placements are also possible, provided they include:
- Clear supervision,
- Structured tasks,
- Regular check-ins. (Payment guidance still applies to compensate for any reduced-cost accessibility.)
If a full salary is not feasible, we welcome alternative support, such as reimbursement for:
- Travel expenses,
- Meals,
- Other necessary work-related costs.
