iSpani focuses on opportunities in the jewellery industry

iSpani is a reality documentary that takes viewers into the world of work. Each week an aspiring careerist is exposed, in detail, to the inner workings of a specific career starting at the very bottom. They are taken on a process of orientation and practical job shadowing, introduced to and supported by potential employers. In addition to performing specific tasks that build the foundation of a competent employee, the show's candidates are coached by on-the-ground experts in the field, who share their experiences in developing their own careers with the candidates.
