Sports Management Worldwide, an online school for sports careers, is gearing up for another round of its eight-week online Business of Esports Course.
Led by Ben Watley, Senior Program Manager for Electronic Arts, the course has been devised to break down the esports industry to identify the opportunities that are available.
The course is focused on entry-level positions in esports; specifically covering the general landscape of the industry, from event management, to fan engagement, coaching, psychology, team management, content creation, sponsorship, and broadcasting. With Watley teaching the fundamentals of esports, the course looks to develop students’ understanding of what’s available to them when it comes to careers.
