BUT: MultiChoice “move forward” to trainings to boost content creators in Africa
The training program is guided by a vast multidisciplinary team of award-winning specialists from across the continent, part of whom have produced content for the channels of the M-Net Group – an entertainment content production company (children's programmes, sports, films, reality shows) which is part of MultiChoice.
Top graduates from each of the three academies will have the incredible opportunity to further develop their skills with various internships sponsored by MTF partner organizations such as the New York Film Academy (NYFA) and Zee World.
The MultiChoice Talent Factory comes as a way for MultiChoice Africa to show that it is committed to building and sustaining the pipeline of training for employment in Africa's film and television industry, and where this initiative aims for a 60/40 split in favor of women from the its beginning.
