The Youth Employment Service

A business-driven collaboration with government that offers a disruptive approach to South Africa's youth unemployment challenge.

YES aims to address South Africa's youth unemployment crisis. Research shows that just some work experience can improve a youth's chance of employment three fold. YES discovers new pathways to open doors for youth employment opportunities and aims to create 1 million workplace experiences for unemployed South African Youth. YES operates on both the demand (job creation) and the supply (youth) side of unemployment.
