Strategic Partnerships YES already collaborates with global brands and universities. There is room to deepen Mastercard partnerships, pursue co branded upskilling programs, sponsor career fairs, and explore cross border initiatives that align private sector funding with youth employment outcomes.

Tech and Data The organization could benefit from an integrated donor management and program analytics stack to track youth outcomes, optimize program delivery, and demonstrate impact to funders. Opportunities include CRM enhancements, dashboards for partners, and scalable digital learning modules.

Youth Pipeline Their WorkAbility and YESnet efforts plus on site and virtual career fairs indicate demand for event management and recruitment marketing solutions. Propose selling event platforms, applicant tracking integration, employer branding, and scalable internship pipelines.

Mental Health Inclusion Emphasis on mental health and inclusion creates opportunities for targeted training programs, DEI consulting, and mental health support modules for youth employment contexts. Consider partnerships with providers and outcome driven measurement for funders.

Leadership Continuity A leadership transition in 2025 presents an opening to engage the new leadership on strategic partnerships, sponsorships, and grant programs. Propose executive level outreach, donor relations support, and co funded impact initiatives.
