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.
