NGO’s are working with both the private and public sectors to create employment opportunities for the youth.

These organisations are usually small and are run with government monetary support.

In a live SABC news interview, Ravi Naidoo, CEO of Youth Employment Service (YES) shared:

We have about a hundred thousand NGOs and ourselves as a youth employment service, we are a non-profit organization created by the private sector and our focus is trying to have an impact on youth employment.
