As part of our commitment to enriching the student experience at Burnley College, we organise an annual Industry Week that brings learning beyond the classroom. Throughout the week, we welcome industry leaders and experienced esports professionals from across the country and the world to share their knowledge, discuss career pathways and give students a behind-the-scenes look at the industry from their unique perspectives. These sessions allow students to connect their studies with real-world practice, ask questions, grow their network and gain inspiration for their future careers.
Below are just some of the names we hosted at the most recent industry week.Â
