We are thrilled to submit Bain & Company’s 2023 entry for SAGEA’s Best Innovation award as an active employer of South African graduates. We recognize that our greatest asset is our people, our graduates. Our innovative approach to graduate talent development has not only reshaped our organization but has also set new standards of excellence for attracting, nurturing, and retaining top local talent. Bain’s groundbreaking innovation – upon which this submission is based – is a holistic approach to our South African graduate talent development. We call it the “New SA Graduate Support EcoSystem”.

This EcoSystem redefines the traditional employer-graduate relationship by fostering a dynamic, inclusive, and growth-oriented environment that benefits both our organization and the South African graduates we welcome into our firm. We are immensely proud of this recently refreshed EcoSystem tailored specifically for the South African graduate market, and believe it addresses a host of needs that young graduates demand to thrive in their early careers. The EcoSystem has already delivered exciting results, moving Bain & Company closer towards our ambitious goal of being the first choice for top consulting talent in Africa.

We hope that SAGEA will review this submission favorably and are optimistic that Bain & Company’s innovative and responsive approach to local graduates will be celebrated, as it was in 2021 when we were honoured to win this award for our market-defining Women Accelerate Programme.

The NGW Competition had the dual focus of increasing our brand awareness with female students
and building a pipeline of exceptional future female talent for the Strategy and Transactions
business. 
We promoted the exceptional EY experience for our candidates, from candidate engagement
through the competition stage.
We value introversion as much as extroversion, collaboration and inclusive leadership as much as a
directive style.  We looked for quality and demonstrated outputs of connection to community and
building a better working world.
The candidate criteria is for female South African Citizens in their third year of study to postgraduate
level, studying strategy and transaction related courses/ qualifications was well as other EY graduate
programmes.
The agenda for the event ran over two days and included: Strategy and Transactions overview, skills
building session, presentations to the judging panel and a networking session. The SA winner won a
cash voucher, a certificate, trophy and a trip to London to compete for the global title and is now a
graduate at EY under the Assurance Delivery Network programme.
