Enterprise Rent-A-Car, the world’s largest car rental company, is offering a boost to the job prospects of university graduates by announcing today that a bumper roster of almost 2000 new graduate positions will be made available over the course of the next year.
The new positions are for the company’s prestigious and award-winning Management Training Programme. Graduates can choose to start their training at any of Enterprise’s 450 branches across the country and with the opportunity to be promoted quickly, reaching branch manager level within only two or three years.
Enterprise’s newly appointed Head of European Operations, Khaled Shahbo, is an example of this, beginning his career at Enterprise on the Training Programme.
Enterprise’s enhanced graduate positions provide a shot in the arm for 2021 graduates, who saw their chances of securing a suitable job fall by a third amid competition with last year’s graduates.
The Enterprise programme offers bespoke on-the-job training and many opportunities for early advancement from one of the UK’s award-winning graduate employers.

Nadia Javaid, Area Manager was promoted five times within a few years before arriving in her current role. She said: “When I joined Enterprise in 2012 I had a very ‘traditional’ career path initially starting the Management Training Programme in Glasgow.
