Say YES to effective BEE
BEE Novation, one of South Africa`s leading transformation consultancies, will be hosting a series of national one-day seminars dealing with the latest developments in transformative BEE and the benefits of implementation of the YES initiative. This is the only event that will feature YES and the DTI, supported by Izwilethu.
What is YES?
The Y.E.S. initiative encourages corporates to create employment opportunities for unemployed black youth by incentivising the private sector to participate through rewarding companies with higher BBBEE scorecard levels if they meet the targets.
The benefits of Y.E.S.
- Increase your BEE scorecard by up to two levels by implementing YES.
- Meet and listen to the opinion creators and decision-makers in charge of YES, DTI and BEE to understand the best approaches to implementing BEE and transformation initiatives across the South African landscape, through the YES programme.
- Free labour in your business or NPO if you have YES beneficiaries placed with your company.
- Meet and interact with key players and executives in BEE and transformation initiatives including verification agencies, consultants, BEE/transformation managers and engage the DTI with technical questions on implementation of YES.
- Understand the link between Employment Equity, the BCE (Basic Conditions of Employment) Act and YES participants.
- Learn how best to align and structure your YES beneficiary spend and at the same time improve your procurement points in the process.
- Understand how YES implementation partners and enhances government and business collaboration.
