“

The rotational graduate scheme at RVU has broadened my horizons and taught me how a business really operates. I’ve had the opportunity to get involved in and own high-impact projects in a supportive environment which has enabled me to learn lots and fast! As an RVU graduate, there has been an emphasis on both my professional and personal development. As well as having a business critical role, I’ve had the chance to get involved with rewarding initiatives such as RVUni, a 3 day marketing course for A-level/GCSE students."
