Transform your business.
Change youth lives
The Youth Employment Service (YES) is one of the biggest private sector youth employment programmes in the country that is affecting broad-based change across sectors, provinces and communities. We’ve injected over R5 billion in youth salaries into the economy in just under four years, with no government funding.
As a private sector led initiative, we help tackle the country’s youth unemployment crisis by empowering businesses to create 12-month quality work experiences for unemployed youth. In return for creating these jobs, businesses receive up to two levels on their B-BBEE scorecard.
For your first year with YES, your business
can receive its B-BBEE level up almost
immediately if youth are contracted before your
financial year-end.
Businesses can place youth internally in their own structures, or in YES vetted host partners through the turnkey solution. The turnkey solution works with host partners across South Africa to place youth. These partners are working in high-impact sectors such as digital, agriculture, small business development and the green economy. Youth are placed in their communities, which means they can play an important part in building their own economies. Register for YES today. Gain B-BBEE levels immediately. Change lives forever.
Here are the top reasons over 2 200 businesses have signed on to co-create a future that works: 1. The YES model creates measurable and meaningful broad-based impact. 2. It’s an effective way to gain B-BBEE levels and transform your business. 3. YES programmes are easily integrated with a business’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies. 4. YES partners with businesses to create programmes that directly uplift communities. 5. YES programmes create a critical talent pipeline for your business. 6. YES has placed strong focus on ensuring excellent governance and processes leading to four years’ worth of clean audits.
