Business & Management Graduate Jobs & Internships

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a world-famous, international car rental company.  As the largest car rental company in North America (and arguably the world), Enterprise has an annual turnover of more than $10.1 billion.  This company has more than 904,000 vehicles in its rental and leasing fleet.  The company was originally founded in 1957, yet didn’t adopt the name ‘Enterprise Rent-A-Car’ until the end of the 1980’s.

Although Enterprise is undoubtedly a very large company, it has a small company personality.  The company has always believed in giving employees every opportunity for success.  Enterprise also encourages people to stand out and develop their careers in their own ways.  If you choose to work for Enterprise, you will be learning how to run the business yourself.  You will have the power to make your own decisions about your career path.

Graduate Options
Enterprise has a Management Training Scheme, rather than a graduate program; however, this is much like other graduate programs in the type of training it provides.  When you join the Enterprise Management Training Scheme, you will work at one of the branches of Enterprise and learn from hands-on experiences.  You will learn the skills necessary to run the business yourself, from sales and marketing to finance and customer service.  You will be a Management Trainee, and you will have a competitive income.  In as little as 12 months, you could be promoted to Management Assistant.  If you choose, during the Training Scheme, you could specialize if there is an area of the business in which you find a particular interest.  For example, you could decide to specialize in Marketing or Finance.

Internship Options
The Internship Programme at Enterprise is open to first and second year university students.  This program allows students to try working at Enterprise to both gain valuable experience and to see if a career at Enterprise is the right choice for them after university.  As an intern, a student will be a Management Trainee.  This position gives students the opportunity to get hands-on training in many aspects of working at Enterprise.  Best of all, Enterprise offers paid internships.

Conclusion
Enterprise provides a great environment in which anyone can find career success.  In fact, this company has been the recipient of many awards and certificates that state just that.  For example, in the 1990’s, Fortune Magazine listed Enterprise Rent-A-Car as one of the ‘100 Best Companies to Work For’.  More recently, Enterprise has been listed in The Times as one of the ‘Top 50 Where Women Want to Work’ every year since 2006.  And in 2008, the Irish Independent said that Enterprise was one of the ‘Best Companies to Work For’.

Application Method
The first step in applying at Enterprise is filling out the online application, which takes about 30 minutes to complete.  Next, you will need to meet with a recruiter in person.  If this meeting goes well, you will be invited to visit a branch of Enterprise to have an interview with the Branch Manager.  Finally, you will be invited to a Selection Day, during which you will complete exercises designed around life at Enterprise.
