COMMUNITY
Mitak may make hard metals but it is a company that cares for its community
The people who work at Mitak are at the centre of its success, and a great deal is invested in supporting them and growing their communities.
Mitak apprenticeships and internships
Artisanship is a cornerstone of economies and skills development. Mitak promotes it as a career path by upskilling people, especially young people, via apprenticeships, experiential learning and internships for undergraduates.
Mitak is constantly running apprenticeship and experiential learning initiatives and there are plans to develop these and take more learners through them each year. Training and development form a continuous process and learnt skills are directly transferred to the workplace.
Employment equity
Mitak also focuses on employment equity and promotes a fair and non-discriminatory environment. Mitak’s transformation committee ensures this throughout its activities.
Employee health
Mitak addresses employee health via an on-site clinic, which provides occupational and primary healthcare services. A qualified nurse is on-site every day and a doctor comes in weekly. Any injuries that happen on-site are swiftly attended to.
Partnering with an aftercare centre
Mitak’s community work focuses on empowering women and on the welfare of children. The initiatives have partnered with the Thokoza aftercare centre Setshabelo to help it to harness youngsters’ talents and to expose them to work opportunities. Children from grade R to grade 12 are assisted with their homework, assignments, and to prepare for tests and exams. The centre also provides extracurricular activities and hot meals.
Partnering with the Love Trust
Mitak also partners with the Love Trust, an organisation that is changing education in SA’s townships. Love Trust has built a world-class school in Tembisa that educates orphans from homes below the poverty line. Together with the Love Trust, Mitak seeks to restore hope to children and their families.
Another fruitful partnership with the Love Trust is working to found a teacher training centre in Leondale in the near future. This facility will be aimed at educating aspiring educators in early childhood development.
Mitak continues to look for opportunities to assist its communities.
