What Is the YES Programme?
The Youth Employment Service (YES) is a South African initiative aimed at helping young people gain meaningful workplace experience.
For the Röhlig-Grindrod programme, successful applicants will get exposure to a business operating in freight forwarding, logistics and supply chain management.
The experience may help participants build practical workplace skills and strengthen their CVs when applying for future positions.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
For Matriculants interested in logistics, the programme provides an opportunity to enter an industry where positions can range from freight forwarding and operations to warehousing, administration, customer service and supply chain support.
It is particularly worth considering for applicants who want workplace exposure before pursuing longer-term employment opportunities.
