American Swiss, part of the TFG Jewellery brands, invites young South Africans to apply for the YES Youth Programme opportunity. This is your chance to step into the job market, gain valuable work experience, and build the foundation for your career. The closing date for applications is 28 August 2025, so don’t delay.
If you’re between the ages of 18 and 28 and have been looking for a way to enter the world of work, this opportunity could change your life.
