M-Net has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with three science centers across South Africa to host national career exhibitions, under the umbrella of its M-Net Magic in Motion initiative. M-Net Magic in Motion, M-Net s rebranded Corporate Social Investment initiative, comprises two flagship initiatives: the M-Net Magic in Motion Academy and the M-Net Magic in Motion Career Expo. This year, the expo will be held in three regions and will be targeted at Grade 11 learners.

The career expos will be held in the following regions, on the following dates:

11 to 14 August 2015, Johannesburg, Sci-Bono Discovery Centre

18 to 21 August 2015, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal Science Centre

25 to 28 August 2015, Cape Town, Cape Town Science Centre

According to Kershnee Govender, M-Net corporate affairs director, Collaboration with the science centres catapults our initiative as we are partnering with established entities who work closely with provincial education departments, have a significant reach, impact learners and students lives with the advice on offer and enjoy a clear understanding of the specific target audience M-Net is hoping to engage with.

The three science centres currently provide learners and students with information about study and work opportunities, offering counselling and services to assist in making informed career decisions. In addition, the centres showcase science and technology through interactive, fun and informative exhibitions.

David Kramer, CEO of the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre commented on the collaboration, Our new partnership with M-Net is an exciting achievement for Sci-Bono, and we are thrilled to work with Africa s leading television broadcaster. Our goal is to increase young people s awareness and interest in the wide spectrum of post-school careers. While Sci-Bono has a particular interest in science and technology, we recognise that our school system does not adequately provide our children with enough career information. This partnership with M-Net is a great milestone for Sci-Bono. As a major player in the broadcasting industry and an esteemed content provider, M-Net is in the best position to give young people a broad view of the television industry.
