YES! Youth Energy Day

Are you a final-year student in university, a recent graduate or an early career professional?

Join us for a high-impact day of learning and recruitment opportunity at the YES! Youth Energy Day, alongside the global "World Youth Day" celebration on 10 November. 

The event takes place virtually on our Beyond Privilege platform and in person, by invitation only, across 4 vibrant African cities: Nairobi, Lagos, Cape Town, and Cairo.

If you're a final-year student in university, a recent graduate and an early career professional looking to enter the energy sector, this is your chance to gain practical insights and connect with our aef partners currently offering graduate and early-career recruitment opportunities.

For our aef partners, this is an opportunity to showcase their recruitment opportunities in Africa and engage with talented and enthusiastic youth eager to kickstart their careers in energy development.

In each in-person location, we invite 100 participants, including students and hiring companies, to share knowledge, seek guidance on application processes, and network with potential employers.

Simultaneously, we'll livestream all sessions on Beyond Privilege, making it accessible to thousands of young talents from all over Africa. Online participants can actively join and contribute to the discussions, receive real-time company advice, and connect with fellow graduates.
