We are passionate about finding new games talent and nurturing it within this great industry.
To that end, we help graduates find their way into games through advice on employability and how to make themselves stand out when applying to studios directly.
Importantly, we don’t believe that early careers should be monetised – it’s a partnership with the industry to help growth at this crucial starting point.
We attend events where we can talk to students and give them advice on their portfolios and CVs. And we take every opportunity to encourage these bright, motivated, eager and talented people and a burning desire to make their mark in the wonderful world of games..
Our commitment to promoting diversity and, in particular, encouraging more women into games extends into this important area. With this in mind, we are embarking on an initiative to primary school age children – and their parents – about what a career in games can offer, and the many disciplines and opportunities available.
At Amiqus we are committed to promoting careers in games to all.
We know that by the age of 17, a huge proportion of girls have already dropped relevant technical and science based subjects, some believing that the jobs involving these subjects will lack the creativity they seek in their careers. But the games industry can offer both a creative and technological career. Making games a credible, stable and exciting career of choice for both genders means professionalising the message and getting everyone involved, including parents. We're supporting the industry in speaking to children aged 7-10 years old about the career options in games.
