Enterprise Rent-a-Car

Enterprise Rent-a-Car runs a national internship program. UMD students have worked in the local offices. If you think you might want to do an internship in a retail, customer service setting, think anout Enterprise. I suggest that you call or send your resume to a local office where you might want to work. You can also visit their web site (http://www.erac.com/default.aspx) and serach in their career sections. I know that they are currently looking for interns in Boston, Lowell area. Malboro area, Merrimack Valley, Metro West, and Worcester area. I also know that several students in the past have simply walked into a local Enterprise and landed an internship.


Description
Our Internships play an integral role in the success of Enterprise and are a comprehensive introduction to our Management Training Program. For a college student, real-world professional business experience can put you above the rest when you enter the job market.
It's Business 101 on 10 cups of coffee

Our interns go at a highly energized pace. From day one as a paid intern with Enterprise, you'll learn what it takes to run a successful business and acquire highly marketable skills and experience pertaining to every aspect of operating a business. And it's learning by doing, not by getting coffee or filing all day. Our college interns take on the same challenges as our first and second year full-time professionals. It's a team-based environment where the Enterprise employees are supportive and fun to work with.

When you join our Management Internship Program, you'll acquire highly marketable skills and experience pertaining to every aspect of running a successful business. You'll soon discover that every day is different because it is filled with so many new, exciting, rewarding and often unexpected challenges. There is one consistent aspect, however - everyday, you'll learn more about sales/marketing, customer service, business management, and administrative skills than you ever thought possible.

At Enterprise, you won't be a glorified gopher getting coffee or filing all day. Our interns go at the same energized pace and take on the same challenges and responsibilities as our Management Trainees.

Not only is it a paid internship program, but interns may also be eligible for performance incentives and employee referral rewards. The business training you'll receive will be an amazing jumpstart to your career.
