About MusoMagic

MusoMagic provides innovative, outstanding workshops and programs that unite, engage, motivate and empower groups of all ages and backgrounds through the magic of song.

Using music as the powerful and unifying medium that it is, MusoMagic experiences lead groups through activities designed to lift them out of their comfort zones in the bonding process of creating a song that reflects shared themes and values.

Tailored to meet designated objectives and themes, the process involves open communication, negotiation, compromise and trust – the main ingredients to any successful relationship – all facilitated in a creative, fun and safe environment. The tangible result is not only a brilliant song and video clip, but, most importantly, a group that is united under a common banner of shared values and goals.

 Career Choices gives you useful information about the industries in South Australia so that you can make informed decisions when planning your career.

Just reading about one industry will not necessarily give you the full picture about the range of possible career opportunities. You may be able to start out in one industry and move to one of the linked industries because the skills required are similar.

Career Choices is arranged into 27 industries and describes what sort of jobs can be found in an industry, the training needed to get these jobs and general prospects for the industry. Each industry section has information on employment prospects and skills in demand in South Australia.

Career Choices gives you an estimate of the likely number of job openings over the next five years. Each section also includes:

·         the occupations within the industry

·         occupations currently in demand

·         quick facts about the industry based on Census data

·         your options for getting into the industry, including VET in SACE courses, post-school vocational training or university degrees
