Path to a Profession
Participants are provided with two potential paths in the esports industry. The first allows participants the opportunity to grow their gaming skills by connecting them with esports coaches and by providing competition settings to test their skills. This path also aims to connect top local gamers with collegiate level coaches.
The second allows participants to explore potential career opportunities in the esports industry by connecting them with STEAM industry professionals. This path allows participants to identify careers they find interesting and explore the skill sets needed to successfully obtain these positions.
Both paths are available through unique onsite and online structures in collaboration with our program partners. Additionally, both paths provide participants with the ability to make connections both locally and nationally in the esports industry.
Community Programs: Our custom community programs provide both schools and community organizations with a structured learning environment. These programs combine play and learning to dive into the specific STEM connections in esports. Programs can be catered to the organization.
