The YES Programme, a business-led collaboration with the government, aims to tackle unemployment by offering youth the chance to develop new skills and gain valuable workplace experience, significantly enhancing their prospects for long-term employment.
Who Can Apply?
South African youth aged between 18 and 29, possessing a matric qualification, currently unemployed, not engaged in full-time or part-time studies, and falling under the BBBEE Act definition of ‘black people’ are eligible to apply. Furthermore, applicants must not have participated in a YES Programme with another organization previously.
Duration and Compensation
Selected candidates for the Nedbank YES Programme will be employed for 12 months to acquire quality work experience. Unlike learnerships, internships, or apprenticeships, the YES Programme focuses on providing real-world employment opportunities.
Participants will receive a monthly stipend determined by the YES Programme, aimed at supporting living expenses, food, and travel costs.
Work Experience Locations
The quality work experience offered through the Nedbank YES Programme will be stationed across Nedbank’s various sites, branches, and offices nationwide. Some positions may even offer the flexibility of a hybrid or remote work model.
Depending on the division, role, and job requirements, YES participants may need to work weekdays or adhere to a shift schedule, including weekends and public holidays. This necessitates that YES participants have the ability to commute to and from their designated Nedbank workplace
