Eskom, South Africa’s top electricity supplier, is giving 30 young people a chance to join their 2025 YES (Youth Employment Service) Programme at Duvha Power Station in Mpumalanga.

If you just finished school or college and want to learn new skills while working for a major company, this is the chance you’ve been waiting for.

What is the YES Programme at Eskom?

The YES Programme (Youth Employment Service) is a 12-month job placement initiative. It helps young people gain real work experience by placing them in companies like Eskom. You’ll sign a fixed-term contract and be placed in different departments at Duvha Power Station.

This isn’t just a job – it’s a stepping stone to something bigger. The goal is to help you grow professionally, understand how a big company works, and maybe even open the door to future job opportunities in the energy field.
