About
Whether you're passionate about design, coding, art, or sound, there are plenty of opportunities out there for young people eager to start a career in this exciting field.
First, it's important to know that there are many different pathways into the industry. For those with a creative flair, roles in game art, animation, or design could be a great fit. If you're into problem-solving and have a knack for tech, game development and coding could be your thing. Sound design and voice acting are also key roles within the industry, bringing life to the games we play.
Education plays an important role, but not necessarily in the traditional sense. While a degree in computer science, graphic design, or animation can help, many employers value practical skills and a strong portfolio over formal qualifications. You can develop your skills through online courses, independent game development projects, or work experience with smaller studios.
There are also plenty of support networks, such as industry bodies and regional game hubs, where you can find advice, job listings, and events. And remember, some employers in the video games industry offer internships, apprenticeships, and work experience opportunities, so do some research and see what you can turn up!
Keep exploring and stay connected with the industry—your next big opportunity could be just around the corner! Find out more >
