Nedbank YES Programme
Nedbank said YES to creating youth employment opportunities, building communities and transforming South Africa.
What is the YES Programme?
The YES Programme is a business-led collaboration with government to reduce unemployment by providing youth with an opportunity to develop new skills and gain meaningful workplace experience, which will in turn significantly improve their chances of finding long-term future employment.
Who can apply for the Nedbank YES Programme?
South African youth who:
- are between 18 and 29 years old;
- have a matric qualification;
- are currently unemployed;
- are not studying full-time or part-time;
- are South African-born African, Coloured or Indian citizens as set out in the BBBEE Act definition of ‘black people’; and
- have not participated in a YES Programme with another organisation before.
How long will Nedbank YES youth be employed and when will the YES Programme start?
Nedbank YES youth will be employed for 12 months to gain quality work experience. The YES Programme is not a learnership, an internship or an apprenticeship programme. The programme is earmarked to start on 1 June 2025.
How much will Nedbank YES youth earn?
Nedbank YES youth receive a monthly stipend guided by the YES Programme. A stipend is monetary support to help an individual pay for living, food and travel-related expenses.
Where will the Nedbank YES Programme work experience take place?
The Nedbank quality work experience programme will be based at Nedbank’s various sites, branches and offices across the country, with some positions allowing for the possibility of working according to a hybrid or remote work model.
Depending on the division, role and job requirement, Nedbank YES youth may be required to work weekdays or according to a shift schedule (which may include weekends and public holidays). This means that YES youth must be able to travel to and from the Nedbank workplace.
