President Ramaphosa recently launched the YES (Youth Employment Service) initiative. Over the next three years, YES – led and supported by the private sector – will incentivise businesses to employ young people, giving them a chance at a life-changing first work experience.
With a unique collaboration between government, labour, civil society and the youth, this represents a benchmark in fresh, bold responses to our country’s unemployment crisis. Your company’s commitment to YES is crucial to creating a better South Africa, and a better South Africa is crucial to businesses, society and the future of this country as a whole.
