WHY IT RATES: Travel agents working with clients who appreciate and support the military will be happy to learn about the new partnership between Enterprise and the United States Army.-Donald Wood, Breaking News Senior Writer.
Enterprise Holdings announced Tuesday its participation in the U.S. Army Partnership for Youth Success (PaYS) program in Philadelphia. The PaYS program guarantees soldiers job interviews for employment after they leave active duty and connects them with employers that value the maturity, skills, discipline and work ethic that service members offer.
Representatives from Enterprise and the U.S. Army signed a formal partnership agreement during a ceremony at a Philadelphia Enterprise Car Sales dealership.
Enterprise Holdings operates the Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo Rent A Car brands through its integrated global network of independent regional subsidiaries and franchises. This robust global network - operating a fleet of nearly 1.9 million vehicles - provides a comprehensive portfolio of transportation solutions, including car rental, car-sharing, vanpooling, car sales, truck rental, online ride-matching and affiliated fleet management services.
The PaYS program is a strategic partnership between the U.S. Army, private industry, academia, and state and local governments. Since it established the PaYS program in 2000, the U.S. Army has formed partnerships with more than 700 potential employers. The initiative is part of a long-term effort to help bridge the gap between soldiers seeking to develop their careers and businesses looking for skilled talent.
"At Enterprise, we're proud to support our nation's military personnel and their families," said Robert Keyes, Vice President and General Manager of Enterprise Holdings in Philadelphia. "The PaYS program is one more way for us to deliver on that commitment while also continuing our longstanding tradition of recognizing and rewarding the unique skills and talents of former military service members."
