Celiwe Chauca is breaking the boring science nerd stereotype! We know science and maths are areas of real concern in South African education. Celiwe and her potential employers, the KZN Science Centre, realise that creating interest in science is an urgent priority for our country to remain competitive in the global marketplace. Celiwe’s potential internship in outreach programmes will help to spark excitement and interest. 

“This career needs dedicated people to communicate the benefits and wonders of understanding the underlying science of our day-to-day lives” she says. And that is where she hopes to enter the picture; educating learners and people without much scientific background about scientific topics and debates in ways that are informative, accessible, and empowering. 

iSpani demystifies the world of work and focuses firmly on skilling and inspiring young South African’s to make informed career choices. The series is aimed at skills and careers that are highlighted in the Scarce and Critical Skills list promote positions that need new, skilled entrants.
