Employers Can Help College Esports Team Reach Next Level

Employers can help the Coventry Crosshairs College Esports team to reach the next level.

Coventry College’s Esports team is reaching out to employers to help them progress to the next level.

Coventry Crosshairs are making giant strides on the sports gaming scene as they pit their wits against competitors online.

The group have put themselves firmly on the national map and the College is also launching a new Esports National Diploma programme from September 2021.

Now Coventry Crosshairs are looking for businesses to back the team and new qualification as they go from strength-to-strength.

The team have already brought together the best of UK Esports talent by hosting the Coventry Crosshairs Arcade Festival (in collaboration with Vulpine Esports) in February.

Plans are also in place to create the Coventry Crosshairs Esports Academy for current college learners.

Esports is a combination of sport, skill, professionalism and competitive video gaming which has become extremely popular.

Shoubna Naika-Taylor, Esports Team Manager for Coventry Crosshairs, said: “Our Coventry Crosshairs Esports team continues to evolve and with that comes the launch of our new Esports qualification at Coventry College.

“These are exciting times, but to take us to the next level we would be really grateful to any local businesses who can sponsor the team, events that we deliver and support us and our learners in any way to enable our future progression.”

Can your business help Coventry Crosshairs break new ground and support our learners along the way?
