West Suffolk College is hosting a series of esports days featuring a range of guest speakers from the industry.
Speakers will give talks on esports careers, the skills needed in the space and their own backgrounds and experiences to help inspire students at the college’s Bury St Edmunds campus.
Esports News UK has teamed up with West Suffolk College to help arrange the talks and run a few articles on their gaming activities and plans.
Talks will be given to Level 3 esports/computing students aged 16 to 24. Most are in-person and a few will be conducted remotely.
Speakers include those from the likes of team organisations like Guild Esports and G2 Esports, esports careers/jobs platform Hitmarker, university esports body and tournament provider NUEL, casters, PR/marketing agencies and more.
The full list of speakers is as follows:
The talks will take place over the next couple of weeks.
Course director Ben Lewis said: “We think it’s great for students to have the opportunity to speak to people in the esports industry. Lots of the students are still unsure what area in esports they want to get into, and this gives them first-hand knowledge from professionals and the chance to ask them questions about their specific career in esports.”
The college also recently hosted an Esports Week to raise money for Red Nose Day.
