Additional cadetship partners include video game developer, publisher and esports tournament organizer Riot Games and their Remote Broadcast Center, Powered by AWS, first launched under the internally dubbed project name “Project Stryker.”
All parties involved are committed to creating a more diverse and equitable future for all through their commitment to such initiatives as the Esports Broadcasting Cadetship for women.
“We are thrilled to welcome Angelica and Emma to the RBC team in Dublin,” said Allyson Gormley, Global Operations Director, Remote Broadcast & Production for Riot Games. “It’s an incredibly exciting time for our team as we prepare for the League of Legends World Championship beginning September 25 from across Europe, and we couldn’t imagine a better opportunity for Angelica and Emma to begin their esports broadcasting careers than the chance to learn and contribute on Riot’s biggest annual event that brings joy to players around the world.”
The Riot Games Esports Broadcasting Cadetship was launched to accelerate the careers of women interested in the behind-the-scenes roles that are crucial to the esports broadcasting and production industry. It was designed especially for applicants in college or university interested in esports production, or those with previous esports production experience and applicants from the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa) region. The program is part of 1DF’s BroadcastHER Initiative created in 2018 to fuel the dreams of women who aspire to work in the gaming and esports industry.
“We are incredibly excited to announce the two outstanding cadets selected for the Riot Games Esports Broadcasting Cadetship. This program embodies our commitment to fostering talent and opening doors for women through our work at 1,000 Dreams Fund,” said Christie Garton, Founder and CEO of 1,000 Dreams Fund. “Angelica and Emma have shown remarkable passion and potential, and we can’t wait to see them thrive as they gain invaluable experience at Riot Games’ Remote Broadcast Centre. This opportunity represents not just a career boost, but a chance to shape the future of esports broadcasting.”
