Nedbank YES Programme 2025 for South African youth
DEADLINE: 13 March 2025
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.
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.
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 expense
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.
