What the YES 2026 Programme Is
The YES (Youth Employment Service) 2026 Programme is a one‑year training adventure that lets you work in Johannesburg.
It’s made for recent high‑school graduates or people who just finished university.
You’ll spend 12 months learning how to:
- Sell products or services
- Help with office tasks
- Tackle technical problems
- Support everyday business needs
The programme is part of a national plan to cut youth unemployment. It gives you hands‑on experience and teaches both job‑ready skills and everyday life skills.
What You Will Get
- Practice in different departments – not just one job, but a mix of sales, admin, tech, and general work.
- Real work time – you’ll actually do the job, not just sit in a classroom.
- Mentors – experienced leaders will guide you, give you feedback, and help you map your future.
- Job‑ready skills – you’ll finish with a portfolio of skills that employers love.
- Boost confidence – working in a real team will make you feel sure about your abilities.
