The magazine had exclusively moved to digital, but the publisher says it is confident there is still an appetite for print amongst its target market, whose primary audience is between the ages of 18 and 35.
"Apart from touch and feel, magazines allow for a longer format, in-depth articles and is also great for collecting and sharing as our content is not dated," says Nkokheli Lindazwe, Careers Magazine’s general manager.
Lindazwe says that while the online uptake is good, print was an important part of the content delivery mix, with video content on the social media platforms also proving to be popular.
"We are excited to be back and serving the country’s majority — young people. We have great plans in the works to make Careers even more accessible and indispensable to more and more youths, especially during this time of great change and upheaval," Lindazwe adds.
The new issue is 124 pages with financial journalist Arabile Gumede as its cover. According to the magazine, Gumede shares his inspiring story of how he become one of the best in his field.
The double issue includes information on how to save money as a student, how to survive learning online and also features interviews with prominent figures such as incoming University of the Witwatersrand vice-chancellor, Professor Zeblon Vilakazi, and medical aesthetician, Dr Nandipha Magudumana.
There’s also an opportunity to win a brand new Playstation 5 gaming console, shopping vouchers and data, which forms part of Careers Magazine's new survey. The publication is targeted at young South Africans at various decision-making stages, such as their job path, education, skills development and livelihood.
The October / November print edition is available from Friday, 30 October and can be purchased from Pick n Pay, Woolworths and Spar. The e-edition can also be bought on the magazine’s website.
