Private sector-led national movement the Youth Employment Service (YES) has over 1 800 businesses tackling the country’s biggest crisis by creating or sponsoring jobs for unemployed youth. In return for putting youth into jobs, businesses gain up to two levels on their broad-based Black Economic Empowerment scorecard and/or integrate YES job creation into their environmental, social and governance strategies, while developing a future talent pipeline.

YES is youth-focused and business-led. YES works with leading businesses in various sectors to provide 12-month quality work experiences for unemployed young people to be economically active citizens, future managers, skilled professionals, and entrepreneurs who will drive the economy forward.

YES has already proven itself to be one of the true innovators in South Africa, generating over R9-billion in youth salaries and more than 168 000 jobs in just five years, with no government funding.

Watch a video clip in which Youth Employment Service CEO Ravi Naidoo talks to Mining Weekly post the Investing in African Mining Indaba 2025 conference. Find out more at www.yes4youth.co.za and say YES to co-creating a better future for all South Africans.
