TORONTO, July 6, 2015 /CNW/ - Enterprise Holdings has been recognized for recruitment excellence this year by three Canadian organizations, furthering the company's reputation as one of Canada's best employers. The accolades include:

Enterprise Holdings, which owns and operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental and Alamo Rent A Car brands, has set an industry standard for recruiting practices in Canada for the past 21 years with its Enterprise Rent-A-Car Management Training and Management Internship programs.

The Enterprise Rent-A-Car Management Training Program provides entry-level employees with hands-on experience running a business, building leadership qualities and providing face-to-face customer service. The program serves as a pipeline for future company leadership.

Enterprise Holdings' promote-from-within culture is a driving force behind its need to recruit university- and college-educated individuals each year. This year the company is on track to hire more than 500 management trainees and 100 interns in Canada. In addition, the company will have more than 750 promotions in Canada alone.
