Strategy& is shaping the next wave of GCC leaders though Qadat

• Qadat introduces high achieving students from leading universities across the region to nurture their talent to thrive professionally
• Qadat is welcoming over 25 business analysts from across the GCC in 2021

Strategy& Middle East graduated the first batch of students from Qadat, a unique program designed for high achieving university students from across the GCC interested in joining the strategy consulting industry.

The inaugural class of business analysts joined the program in October 2020. After a three-week long induction period and a curated learning program, the cohort was staffed on a variety of projects across Strategy& practices, working alongside the firm’s consultants and clients. 

The program has opened doors for the graduates. Many of them chose to continue their journey with Strategy&, while others have received offers and opted for challenging roles in other industries.

“Talent is at the heart of everything we do at Strategy&,” said Mahmoud Makki, Partner at Strategy& Middle East. We are extremely proud to attract this level of talent and nurture their critical thinking, client handling, communications, and problem-solving capabilities. We are delighted with the success of the Qadat program and believe this experience has been just as rewarding to them as it has been to us.”

The next cohort of over 25 students – more than double the inaugural rate - from across the GCC will join the next cycle of Qadat on October 5, 2021. The business analysts will have experienced Strategy& team members to mentor and support them throughout the program, in addition to robust learning and development programs to promote their core consulting skills.
