Our country’s persistently high youth unemployment rate has long been one of our most pressing socio-economic problems. Notwithstanding the central role that youth play in an economy, South African youth are the most affected by joblessness.
Youth Employment Service (YES) is a public-private collaboration that looks for ways to give youth a first chance in the form of a 12-month quality work experience.
Implementing a YES programme in your organisation can gain you as much as two levels on your B-BBEE Scorecard.
Not a couple of points. Two levels. This is particularly useful if you’ve already maxed out your scorecard in other areas.
It’s essential to ensure that the correct targets are achieved and that your YES programme is run properly and in alignment with the Codes, with all the necessary paperwork in order.
YES123 is about compliance, completion and impact, in the form of a complete product that offers end-to-end YES programme facilitation, administration and management. It’s a seamless outsourced solution, and it can be purchased as a stand-alone offering, whether or not you’re using our core software.
We’ll crunch the numbers for you and calculate how many YES youth you will need on your program, and the costs involved. Make your decision based on actual figures, not assumptions.
As a result of our vast B-BBEE experience, we know all the intricacies involved in leveraging the many YES benefits to build a stronger talent pipeline, while fostering long-term national socio-economic stability and prosperity. Let’s work on it together
