The Corporate Sibling model

Not a boss. Not a teacher. A sibling.

Someone a little further down the road who remembers what it felt like to be where you are, and who’s willing to share honestly about how they got here.

  • VX Mentorship is available year-round.
    You can join and connect at any time, there are no intake dates or waiting lists.
  • No geographic barriers.
    Whether you're in Kimberley or Johannesburg, your Corporate Sibling is online. Distance is no longer a reason to miss out on mentorship.
  • One-on-one and group sessions. Direct conversations with your mentor, plus VX-hosted group workshops covering career topics, financial literacy and workplace readiness.
  • Free for learners - always.
    VX Mentorship will never charge learners or students. Access to a Corporate Sibling is part of what makes VX different.
“One honest conversation about a career is worth more than a year of guessing.“
