Motus takes on 355 young people for YES working experience
Automotive group Motus has come on board to support the Youth Employment Service (YES) by providing 355 young people with work experience.
YES was launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2018 and encourages the private sector to create critical work experience opportunities for young people across the country.
To date, the programme has created more than 53 000 work experiences for previously unemployed youth, who would have otherwise had limited employment opportunities.
The initiative by Motus to afford working experience to 355 youths, coupled with its Motus library programme, speaks to the company’s education and skills development in South Africa.
The 355 young people will be placed across Motus’ four key business segments where they will be provided a one-year fixed-term contract, a mobile device for support and training and access to jobs across the group.
The YES programme helps make young people more employable, despite a lack of formal education or lack of work experience.
The opportunities provided by Motus will build important skills and include roles such as sales administration, warehouse picking clerks and entry sales cadets.
Motus is also funding opportunities for placement with its corporate social investment programme partners - Unjani Clinics and the Imperial and Motus Community Trust.
“Motus believes the corporate sector has a real responsibility toward skills development in South Africa. By partnering with and investing in programmes such as YES, we are not only providing an opportunity for those 355 youths, but also expanding the talent pool for the entire industry. In the end everyone benefits,” says Motus CEO Osman Arbee.
