In a significant move aimed at empowering the youth, American Swiss located at Langeberg Mall has implemented a YES Learnership Programme, enabling young South Africans to gain experience in the retail and jewellery sectors.
The YES initiative is a national initiative aimed at addressing the issue of youth unemployment by providing work opportunities that equip young people with relevant skills and experience. By collaborating with YES, American Swiss not only supports the South African youth by creating opportunities, but also adds motivated and skilled employees to the workforce.
The learnership spans over twelve months and equips learners with critical retail and customer service skills, as well as knowledge in jewellery, visual merchandising, and customer relations for those who have a Matric certificate. With the support of seasoned mentors, learners at the Langeberg Mall store participate in the business cycles, helping with customer service, stock control, and upholding the branded American Swiss image.
For some individuals, this experience is more than a simple job. This opportunity serves as a foundation for furthering their professional experience. The program not only provides retail training, but also fosters self-esteem, professionalism, and the readiness to enter the workplace. Upon completion, participants receive an important employment reference which further enhances the chances of securing a full-time position.
Located in the bustling hub of Mossel Bay, Langeberg Mall combines a vibrant retail environment and a strong sense of community, making it an ideal setting for the initiative at hand. This initiative, in turn, reinforces American Swiss’s significant commitment towards social responsibility by aiding in the upliftment of local American Swiss youth.
The American Swiss – Langeberg Mall YES Learnership Program is a great example of how a business and a vision for social change can work together. This program offers the youth of the community a hope for their future, where one never existed, without an overwhelming amount of opportunity. Instead of solely focusing on selling their beautiful jewellery pieces, the business is truly serving the community by helping to shape a better and brighter future.
