Enterprise Rent-A-Car will recruit 2,000 new employees in the UK over the next 12 months.

The company is launching one of the UK’s biggest graduate recruitment campaigns this year and will recruit 1,454 graduates across its regional network of 450+ rental branches. It is also recruiting 450 undergraduates for 12-month industrial placements in retail, HR, revenue management, legal and marketing teams.

The campaign launches to support growing demand for vehicle rental in towns and communities across the UK looking for low-cost, low-emission and convenient motoring.

Ashley Hever, Enterprise Rent-A-Car’s talent acquisition director, said: “The Management Training Programme is the starting point to long term careers at Enterprise that can take people to the very top of the business. Most of our country heads started their career as a Management Trainee, and so did I. Once you’re on board, the sky’s the limit.

“This programme is an outstanding opportunity to develop the real-world skills and experience that this year’s graduates may feel they need, as their university years included long periods of remote learning. If you’ve got a degree and the entrepreneurial drive to take responsibility and be a leader, come and say hello to us at one of our events.” 

This year’s recruits will join Enterprise at a time when transport strategy is in the spotlight, providing exciting opportunities to shape the future of mobility. Businesses and public sector bodies are looking to broaden their travel options to reduce emissions and improve efficiency.

Enterprise is working on exciting solutions and expanding into new markets to meet these opportunities, including Mobility-As-A-Service (MaaS), providing a key link in the connected travel chain and encouraging people to consider shared alternatives to car ownership.
