The program offers candidates the opportunity to train in all the areas of management of a branch, from sales, marketing and customer service, to leadership and cost control

A total of 228 people have completed the Management Training Program (MTP) of Enterprise Rent-A-Car, since its implementation in Spain four years ago. The MTP is the flagship talent management program of the company, through which both current employees and external candidates are prepared to run their own car rental office in just two years, offering them all the necessary tools for your growth and professional development.

Throughout the process, in which candidates start at a branch as a trainee, they receive training and advice on all areas of office management (sales, marketing and customer service, including leadership and cost control). In parallel, candidates also receive various training at the central office, in addition to the practical training they receive daily in their work offices.

The program, which started in Spain initially for internal candidates, was later opened to external candidates, giving them the opportunity to start a career with great professional experience. To this end, links have been built with Spanish universities, business schools and job fairs, in which the Management Training Program has been presented and aimed at future professionals and candidates. In the last year alone, Enterprise has carried out 69 activities in these educational centers and fairs in the sector.

On the other hand, the company has recently renewed its website for jobs for Spain, empleos.enteprise.es, which aims to publicize the values ​​and career plans offered by the company to potential candidates, as well as the profile of the people who are looking for, the selection processes they have open or the advantages that Enterprise offers, among others. This web page now has a new design, as well as new sections, such as contacts in each of the regional areas of the company in our country.

Development of the professional career

During the process, the candidates occupy the different positions that exist in an Enterprise Rent-A-Car branch: they start as a trainee and can be promoted to Management Assistant in just a period of between eight and 12 months. During the following year, they can be promoted to Assistant Manager. Each promotion involves series of exams and evaluations so, although the estimated period of the program is two years, the duration of this varies for each candidate.

The goal is to reach the position of Branch Manager and manage a branch. But the program does not set limits and offers the possibility of reaching Area Manager, Group Rental Manager or even aspiring to an international career with a wide range of positions, given that Enterprise Rent-A-Car is a global company and has a solid internal promotion policy.

MTP, a program with more than 50 years of history

The Management Training Program originated in Enterprise in 1960 in the United States and is a central part of its global Human Resources strategy. Promoted from within as an element of the company's corporate culture, it is currently implemented in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Canada, France and Spain.

Such is its relevance in Enterprise that more than 95% of Senior Managers have joined the Group through this program, highlighting the company's biggest representatives, such as Pam Nicholson, Enterprise CEO, Mike Nigro, Senior Vice President of Operations Europea or Vincent LaBella, CEO of Enterprise in Spain.
