APRO member SKC Enterprises Inc. dba Rent Oneโs training program โ Rent One University (R1U) โ recently graduated its second cohort, several of whom earned promotions during four-month program.
โRent One University is about more than training,โ said Rent One Director of Training & Development Angie Brubaker. โItโs about belief, opportunity, and investing in people who are ready for the next step. Cohort 2 absolutely rose to the challenge, and their accomplishments speak for themselves.โ
The 26 Rent One team members participating in Cohort 2 successfully completed the experience between August and December of 2025, including structured coursework, real-world application, and collaborative learning. The culmination of the program was an in-person graduation ceremony and team-building event held at the Game Show Battle Room in St. Louis, Missouri.
R1U curriculum covers key operational areas, including account maintenance, finance, human resources, inventory, marketing, sales, and training. Interactive Zoom classrooms and peer discussion groups let participants connect across regions, share information, apply learning, and create a strong sense of cohort community.
During the program, seven participants also earned promotions, reinforcing R1Uโs role as a true leadership-development pathway and demonstrating the companyโs commitment to cultivating talent from within.
โRent One University is already becoming a staple program at Rent One, clearly delivering meaningful internal development,โ Chief Operating Officer Kelly Martin agreed. โAngie and her team have created a special sauce โ building connection, accountability, and growth across a distributed workforce with real-world constraints.โ
