Majid Al Futtaim’s Carrefour launches Emirati training program, Masarat

Carrefour, which is owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim in the UAE, has launched its Masarat Program, a bespoke growth initiative for Emirati frontliners, future team leaders, department heads and store managers.

This comes alongside an announcement that the leading retailer has recruited over 1000 UAE Nationals since 2021 and is on target to achieve its goal of 3000 by 2026.

Facilitated by Carrefour’s Retail Business School, successful Emirati applicants will receive skills-based training and mentoring from Majid Al Futtaim Retail’s world-class learning partners. The new initiative is fully aligned with the UAE government’s high-profile NAFIS program, which aims to support UAE nationals who choose to pursue a career in the private sector as part of the federal ‘Projects of the 50’ series.

We remain committed to supporting the growth of all Carrefour colleagues, recognizing that our people remain our greatest asset.”
