In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, esports has emerged as a booming industry, projected to exceed $5 billion in the next few years. With the rise of competitive gaming, there is a growing demand for professionals in roles ranging from game development to broadcasting, IT, marketing, and more. For educators, this presents a unique opportunity to engage students by aligning their passion for gaming with viable career paths in STEM. In this session, Peter Polygalov, resident tech wizard at Mastery Coding and host of the Careers in Esports podcast, will guide educators through the exciting world of jobs in esports and gaming. The esports industry has moved far beyond just professional gaming and coaching, with countless career paths now available. Drawing from his experience interviewing industry leaders, Peter will show educators how to connect their students’ love of gaming with various career pathways, such as game design, shout casting, event production, marketing, cybersecurity, and more.  This session provides critical insights into industry trends, in-demand skills, and actionable strategies for helping students channel their passion for gaming into college and career opportunities. By the end, educators will leave with a toolkit of practical resources, industry connections, and strategies for equipping students with future-ready skills.
