The Youth Employment Service's approach of identifying and leapfrogging talented individuals into promising careers highlights the success of its model. It creates a conduit between talented youth and potential employers who may not have had the chance to connect otherwise.
Just ask Bryan Mposula. His initial 12-month YES work experience was sponsored by Liquid Telecoms, with IT Varsity as the host partner. Here, he embarked on a journey of self-improvement and discovery, acquiring valuable professional skills along the way.
After completing his stint with YES, Mposula found a new beginning as a business integration arch associate at the leading consulting firm Accenture. These positions are highly sought after and often competed for by people with multiple degrees and broad experience.
Despite receiving multiple job offers and experiencing self-doubt, he knew he had made the right decision to join Accenture. The alignment of his personal values with Accenture's corporate values reassured him during his induction.
