YES Learnership Opportunities for Persons With Disabilities

SBV has also advertised YES learnership opportunities specifically for unemployed young people with disabilities.

One recent vacancy was for a Cash Processor Contractor (Disabled Unemployed Learnership) in Kempton Park. The position was structured as a 9–12 month contract and required candidates to participate full-time. 

Another SBV advertisement for a Cash Processor Learnership for Disabled Youth in Louis Trichardt offered a 12-month contract combined with a fully funded banking-sector learnership.

• Have Grade 12 with Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy
• Be a person with a disability
• Provide valid supporting documentation confirming the disability

The qualification details were:

• Qualification: Further Education and Training Certificate: Banking

The advertised programme combined employment with structured learning, allowing participants to gain both practical workplace experience and a formal qualification.

The advertisement specified that the relevant certificates and ID should be certified within the required period.

What Is YES4Youth?

YES is a private-sector youth employment programme focused on creating quality work experiences for unemployed young South Africans. YES reports that its programme provides 12-month full-time work opportunities and aims to help young people gain the experience needed to become future professionals, managers and entrepreneurs. 

YES also provides digital learning and skills-development components as part of its programme journey. 

For young people, this means a YES placement can provide more than simply a job title. Participants can gain workplace exposure, develop professional skills and build experience for their CV.

Who Can Participate in YES Programmes?

YES eligibility can depend on the type of programme.

YES explains that for B-BBEE-specific programmes, candidates generally need to meet the relevant definition of Black People, be within the youth age range and be South African citizens. Candidates also need to be unemployed at the time of contracting. 

For non-B-BBEE-specific programmes, YES states that participation may be available to candidates of different racial backgrounds and ages. Applicants should therefore check the requirements of the particular SBV opportunity rather than assuming that every YES vacancy has identical criteria.
