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 United Arab Emirates.
Majid Al Futtaim Retail aims to enroll 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.

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.
