Following the success of Game Republic’s Graduate Work Ready Skills Bootcamp which completed in March 2024, Game Republic is providing another Skills Bootcamp in 2024 in North Yorkshire. The Skills Bootcamps are fully funded and being delivered by Game Republic with support from NextGen Skills Academy. There are only 15 places available for these programmes which are being funded by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority and the Department for Education and the UK Government. Participants need to be based in North Yorkshire or happy to relocate to North Yorkshire should opportunities become available.
The Graduate Work Ready Games Industry Skills Bootcamp will include two live training events on 7/8 November 2024 and 22/23 January 2025 in York, online learning, mentoring and assignments from leading studios as well as support from well-seasoned and connected industry leaders. Participants will also be able to attend Game Republic events during the Skills Bootcamp for free which will provide unrivalled networking opportunities and support.
MD of Game Republic Jamie Sefton explains “It is more competitive than ever for graduates, so the Skills Bootcamp is to help graduates to stand out, giving them the best start whether they are wanting to get on track for progressing their games industry careers or if they are looking at setting up their own businesses or self-employment.”
