Address By President Cyril Ramaphosa on The Presidency Budget Vote 2025, National Assembly, Parliament.

President Cyril Ramaphosa reaffirmed YES as a flagship Presidential initiative:

 

"With the support of government, the Youth Employment Service – known as YES – has become the largest corporate funded youth jobs programme in the world.   
   
The programme has to date provided over 190,000 young people with a year-long work experience opportunity.   
   
Through all of these programmes coordinated by the Presidency, we are changing the way that government works and scaling innovative solutions to our unemployment challenge."
