Meet Nqobile Sthole.

Before YES Nqobile was unemployed, in debt and unskilled.

Through the Youth@worK YES program, Nqobile was able to create stability for her family, pay off her debt, choose a career in teaching and begin her studies, as well as open up a business, employ her own staff and work as a ECD teacher. All this has happened within her one-year youth placement journey. But now hear it from her.....

Ashley Shadung

Ashely, began the YES internship program as an administrator at Sandown High School, coordinating administrative processes, assisting the finance department in managing budgets implementing policies, and coordinating events. Ashley is currently the Guest Relations Officer at Forest Hill City, whose responsibilities include the maintenance of rules and regulations among the tenants being the different shop owners in the mall.

Ashley attributes the YES multifaceted program for equipping him with good social skills and interpersonal communication. His duties at Sandown High enabled him to improve skills in excel and payroll and reviewing governance and policies, which he currently implements in his new position. Being permanently employed and gaining a scholarship for studies has allowed Ashley to pursue an LLB Law degree at UNISA!
