This morning we hosted a skills workshop to celebrate #WorldYouthSkillsDay at the Kago Hub in partnership with @DigitalSkillsAF. The youth discovered their strengths and weaknesses through the innovative #knackapp and big data skills through digital session.

In collaboration with @ITVarsity 8 youth have received a study bursary valued at R25 000 for the Apptrepreneur online course. @ITVarsity aims to transform the technology industry in SA by providing youth with an accredited qualification (NQF level 5) and practical skills.

Take a look at these amazing stories from some of YES- @WOOLWORTHS_SA
Youth, who are a part of Woolworth’s 450 strong cohort who are now working in the retail industry. This will end in 12 months of quality work experience for the youth, and a B-BBEE level up for Woolworths.
Today we had a #knackathon session at the #KagoYESHub, With a number of youth participating.
Wanna know why #knack🤔
Well #YES uses the #knackApp to understand youth's strengths and challenge areas; to assist in placing them in suitable quality work experience
Today we reached 18 000 quality job experiences created! It would not be possible without the 281 corporates that took the leap by joining YES. So far 8 (going on 12)of our companies have accomplished a level up on their B-BBEE scorecard. We call this a win-win-win!
