Y.E.S Programme Initiative assistance
For 2019, the YES initiative is looking to establish 100 community hubs to add to the first community hub that was launched in 2018. The hubs are a part of the YES SMMES Development Strategy which has three focal points. These focal points include business development, route to market and skills training. Their plans for 2019 also includes creating awareness around the initiative and they are calling on South Africans with resources to become a part of the solution. The YES initiative will also be looking at collaborating with enterprise development programmes which will change the technological landscape and business practices of small businesses.
What Is The Objective Of The YES Initiative?
The objective of the YES initiative is to make provision for unemployed young people. These people need to be trained and employed by corporates and SMMEs. This can occur by way of learnership programmes, bursaries and accredited or non-accredited training courses for a 12-month period. The key focus of the YES initiative is work readiness and sustainable training and development programmes. These will prepare the youth for first-time employment and the creation of much-needed jobs.
What Are The Qualifying Criteria For The YES Initiative?
The initiative also requires targets depending on certain factors such as annual turnover of the business, NPAT (net profit after tax) or headcount. Corporates will benefit from meeting their YES targets through enhanced Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) status levels. There are companies that may want to participate in the YES programme but do not have the necessary facilities to accommodate these learners (whether on a YES learnership programme, bursary, accredited training or non-accredited courses).
This is where SMMEs will benefit from the YES programme. SMMEs can contribute by employing young individuals for 12 months and need not concern themselves with funding as the larger corporates will sponsor the salary of such YES training. The salary would be the envisaged minimum wage of R3 500 per month. In addition, businesses will qualify for the ETI (Employment Tax Incentive).
Given the above and bearing in mind our developmental needs as a country, it is incumbent upon us to embrace this promising initiative. The initiative intends to propel the economic transformation of young people and create jobs across all industries.
