Majid Al Futtaim Retail Extends Retail Graduate Programme to Empower Young Talent Across Eight Countries
Majid Al Futtaim Retail, which owns the exclusive rights to operate Carrefour in Qatar, has officially launched the second edition of its Retail Graduate Programme with the expectation to onboard candidates in October 2024. Building on the success of the inaugural edition, which welcomed 71 candidates from six countries, the programme expands its reach this year to empower more candidates from eight countries. These countries include Lebanon, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, in addition to the existing countries of Egypt, Georgia, Kenya, Pakistan, and the UAE.
Majid Al Futtaim Retail aims to enrol candidates across various countries, with a special focus on providing opportunities for women. This expansion reinforces Majid Al Futtaim Retail’s commitment to empowering young talent and developing future leaders in retail.
The 18-month programme offers recent graduates an opportunity to gain hands-on experience across the dynamic retail industry. Through three six-month rotations, participants will explore various operational areas, including in-store operations, e-commerce, merchandise functions, and customer service. This structured approach, which provides a strong foundation for future career development within the company, reflects Majid Al Futtaim Retail’s commitment to both its colleagues and the local communities in which it operates.
Commenting on the launch, Philippe Peguilhan, Carrefour’s Regional Director – Lower Gulf, stated: “The Retail Graduate Programme embodies our commitment to nurturing future retail leaders – a reflection of our core value, 'Together We Make Every Moment Count.' By providing graduates with hands-on experience and mentorship, we empower them to drive innovation and deliver exceptional customer experiences. We are excited to welcome a new generation of talent who will shape the future of retail."
Peguilhan added: “At Majid Al Futtaim Retail, we embrace the power of diversity and collaboration. By creating a culture of continuous learning, we leverage our collective strengths, shared purpose, and diverse perspectives to drive innovation and excellence in customer experience. As we continue to bring our iconic brand experiences to over 770 thousand customers daily, we always look forward to nurturing young minds, creating opportunities, and unleashing their potential with our proud history of success and ever propelling growth."
