One of the problems confronting South Africa is the remarkable rate of joblessness among the youth. It is a lack that the motivated private sector is trying to solve through different methods of innovation. One of those that is indeed impactful is the YES Youth Employment Service, and in American Swiss in Langeberg Mall, this program is not only providing employment, but also empowering people.
What is the YES Programme?
The Youth Employment Service YES started in the year 2018. It is the product of collaboration between the government, private sector, and other civil services. Its main objective is to provide younger citizens of South Africa with practical work experience of 12 months to boost their skill set and enhance their ability to get a job. Many people see YES as a lifecycle changing program, as it is their stepping stone.
The YES program in the past few years has generated numerous and countless opportunities, and the result it has played is foundational. The ones that manage to finish the program complete it with a lot of valuable experience, but also with many skills, new connections, and a lot of new possibilities in the field of work and business.
