For the third consecutive year, Enterprise Mobility has provided philanthropic support to Oglethorpe University through the Enterprise Mobility Foundation grant program. These grants have supported the Career Development office, allowing students to receive compensation for internships, career preparation resources and build job search skills.
On August 6, Jessi Marquardt, talent acquisition manager for Enterprise Mobility, presented Oglethorpe Career Development director, Dr. Lisa Conley, with a $10,000 check, the highest contribution since the relationship began. To date, Enterprise Mobility Foundation grants to Oglethorpe have totaled $22,500.
“Enterprise Mobility has been a consistent partner for Oglethorpe,” Conley said. “Not only do these grants help fund internships for our students, but Enterprise Mobility has also supported our career readiness programming. We’re grateful for this year’s generous gift and their ongoing commitment to Oglethorpe students.”
The grants have helped Oglethorpe provide scholarship opportunities for students who pursue unpaid internships with various organizations. Enterprise Mobility also works with the university to offer internships, providing meaningful learning experiences for students and developing a talent pipeline for full-time employment after graduation.
“I find great joy in building strong relationships with the colleges and universities that I work with,” Marquardt said. “I am thrilled when I get the chance to deliver funds from our foundation to support the growth and development of their students. It’s truly fulfilling to see the impact of our support on their education and future success.”
Since the beginning, Enterprise Mobility has strived to be an engaged corporate citizen that makes a meaningful difference in the communities where the organization operates. The Enterprise Mobility Foundation oversees a variety of initiatives focused on creating positive impacts through long-term partnerships with nonprofit organizations.
Enterprise Mobility also participates annually in the Oglethorpe Career Fair, scheduled this year from noon to 3 p.m. on Thursday, October 24. Learn more about this event and other Career Development initiatives at Oglethorpe.
