Since every South African community has a public school, job opportunities can be created for the most vulnerable youth. Enabling these young people to stay in their communities, since priority must be given to youth living near the school.

Hiring focus will also be on youth living with disabilities, and girls/females.

The goal of the PYEI Phase IV is to give the youth soft and hard skills, plus work experiences, which are required in the workplace. The youth will gain different exit pathways in the process.

The Department and Provincial Education Departments will link arms with different partners to help achieve this, such as NEMISA, University of Johannesburg, Digify Africa, MTN and Anglo American.

‘’The Department welcomes all the youth to the PYEI-BEEI and encourages them to take full advantage of the opportunities that they will get throughout their contract period’’ said National Project Manager, ‘’these job opportunities can catapult them into even greater things and allow them to develop as professionals’’ Lala Maje
The Department of Basic Education will continue to monitor the impact of the PYEI- BEEI on the sector.
