Making YES work for you
Enabling businesses to participate in Youth Employment Service
YES (Youth Employment Service) aims to create one million work opportunities for unemployed black youth, and transform the lives of these youth while helping to grow the businesses in which they are placed.
The initiative offers businesses the opportunity to gain up to 2 B-BBEE levels should they participate. Participation requires businesses to sponsor unemployed youth for 12 months in a job; aiming to give an entire generation of youth the opportunity to gain work experience, transforming their lives, the businesses they help grow, and the economy of the entire country.

The GCRA has collaborated with Lulaway on a variety of experiential work programmes. We have found Lulaway to provide excellent services in the sources of candidates, host employers and subsequent management of the contracting, administration and tracking of interns.
We would like to confirm that the services provided by Lulaway were to our satisfaction. They have assisted us in digitising our JOBS database and facilitating placements for unemployed youth throughout the country. We appreciate their willingness to go the extra mile, their attention to detail and the friendly and professional disposition of their team.
In August 2015 the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation in collaboration with Lulaway launched the Lulaway Job Retention Pilot Project. A key factor in selecting Lulaway as our lead organisation for this project was their track record demonstrating their ability to navigate operational complexity and successfully execute in a tough operating environment. I believe that Lulaway’s competitive advantage in this sector is its entrepreneurial ethos which enables Lulaway to work with both government and the private sector.
