Sandwell College is delighted to announce the renewal of its partnership with Wolves Esports for another two seasons, continuing to offer students invaluable hands-on experience in the rapidly expanding esports industry.
Based in West Bromwich, Sandwell College is proud to have been the first education provider in the country to partner with a professional Esports team. This renewed partnership with Wolves Esports ensures that our students will continue to benefit from exclusive opportunities such as stadium tours, interactions with professional teams, guest speaker events, and work experience placements.
Our commitment to the Esports sector is reflected in our investment in state-of-the-art facilities, including Esports gaming rooms, editing suites, and enterprise pods, all of which support our two BTEC courses in Esports. These courses cover a broad spectrum of the industry, from event organisation and marketing to broadcasting, presentation, health, wellbeing, and responsible gaming.
Scott Thomas, Assistant Principal at Sandwell College, expressed his enthusiasm for the renewed collaboration: “Esports is not just a growing industry; it’s a major part of the digital future for this generation. By continuing our partnership with one of the country’s leading Esports teams we are ensuring that our students have access to the latest industry insights and opportunities, equipping them with the skills needed to turn their passion into a profession. The employability skills they gain, including problem-solving, teamwork, organisation, digital skills, and analytics will serve them well in whichever path they choose after Sandwell College.”
Claire Teng, Wolves Esports General Manager, added: “We are delighted to renew our partnership with Sandwell College.
“Here at Wolves Esports we are always looking to the future and nurturing new talent and this partnership allows us to do that. Our experience with Sandwell College and its students in our first year was hugely positive and we are excited to be able to continue working with them going forward.”
This extended partnership marks another exciting chapter for Sandwell College and Wolves Esports as we continue to lead the way in education within the Esports arena.
