Learnerships are work-based education and training programmes that are linked to a qualification registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) with the South African Qualifications Authority. Learnerships are occupationally directed programmes that consist of both structured theoretical learning and practical workplace experience. Learnership opportunities include Fleet Management and Management Development. Managerial staff are afforded opportunities to attend management, senior management and executive development programmes presented by various universities across the country and specialised internationally recognised institutions. In addition, the company has an extensive bouquet of courses available on its internet based MiX Learning Centre platform.

Empowerment initiatives: MiX Telematics has an extensive Enterprise and Supplier Development programme where small black owned companies are selected to partake in a development journey tailor made according to their specific needs. Apart from financial assistance, MiX professionals also dedicate their expertise and time to these beneficiaries. In addition, formal training to the employees of these beneficiaries are also facilitated and funded. MiX has also co-opted the services of an expert to transfer skills in entrepreneurship to these companies in a ten week focussed intervention. Evidence of the astounding success of this programme can be found in the exponential growth of the enterprises from EME’s to QSE’s, job creation and sustainability that has been created and established.
