Events for Educators
Career Spotlight Panel: Games
We're delighted to announce the return of our Career Spotlight Panel series, specifically designed to help educators bridge the gap between classroom learning and the creative industries. For our first session of the year we are co-hosting with the Games Educators Network and our new umbrella network, the Creative Educators Network. Our panel (including speakers from ELAM and Sports Interactive) will discuss routes into and qualifications for games, current skills shortages, and how best to prepare students for employment in a changing landscape: Book Now.
