YES in a Nutshell
YES is an acronym for Youth Employment Service, launched in 2018. It applies to Large Enterprises, Qualifying Small Enterprises (QSEs), and Exempted Micro Enterprises (EMEs) that meet the criteria. There are two options for placing YES Employees in their 12-month employment:
-
Where a YES Sponsor employs a YES Employee within its organization; or
-
Where a YES Employee is placed with a qualifying YES Host.
Based on the calculation of targets for YES Employees, a YES Sponsor provides a 12-month work experience. A B-BBEE Verification confirms whether a YES Sponsor met the YES requirements and allows for a 1 or 2 Status Level enhancement. A YES Sponsor's B-BBEE Certificate will indicate participation and Status Level enhancement.
Managed YES Programme
Benefit from our managed YES Programme, offering comprehensive monitoring, troubleshooting, and documentation of the 12-month process.
This management is broken down as follows:

-
Providing analysis to identify YES targets and the potential Level Up advantages
-
Calculating the YES targets against the criteria to ascertain the number of YES Employees necessary to meet the complete YES requirements

-
Where applicable, sourcing and engaging with YES Hosts on behalf of a YES Sponsor
-
Evaluating the positions for YES Employees that meet the criteria on behalf of a YES Sponsor and, if applicable, a YES Host
-
Identifying YES Candidates, then making sure that they meet the position's criteria, that the YES Sponsor's geographical location is realistic and that a YES Employee qualifies as one
-
Overseeing the employment contract, ensuring that the requirements of the YES program as per the Department of Employment and Labour are incorporated
-
Facilitating the induction between the YES Team, representatives of the YES program, the YES Sponsor, or applicable YES Host, and the YES Employee to ensure adherence to all YES requirements beforehand
-
Acting as an intermediary, monitoring, tracking, and reporting progress
-
Providing monthly management and progress reports to the YES Sponsor
-
Sourcing YES Candidates or replacing a YES Employee if one resigns
