In a strategic effort to tackle youth unemployment while developing high-potential professionals, Siemens Healthineers has launched the Junior Bid Coordinator YES Programme—a golden opportunity for South Africa’s youth to gain workplace experience in a global healthcare technology leader. This initiative forms part of the Youth Employment Service (YES) Programme, a national drive aimed at empowering young individuals by providing them with meaningful work experiences.
What is the YES Programme?
The YES Programme is a South African government-backed initiative that partners with private sector companies to create 12-month work experiences for unemployed youth aged between 18 and 35. These opportunities are not just jobs—they are pathways to future employability, skills development, and economic inclusion.

By offering YES placements, Siemens Healthineers is not only opening its doors to youth talent but also investing in shaping the future of healthcare through fresh and dynamic perspectives.
