Liverpool wants to build 'games academy'
City councilors in Liverpool (England, UK, EU ... sorta) are planning on creating a "computer games academy" in the city. The
Liverpool Daily Post reports the £5m facility would train students in art, coding and tech. As
Develop notes, the area is home to SCEE Liverpool and
Bizarre Creations, with 1,500 developers employed in the area.
The city's enterprise leader, Councilor Gary Millar, hopes the academy will become a hub for well-trained potential employees and inspire people to "up-skill and get involved." It's a good thing for the UK, as the region continues to fight for
tax breaks and
develop more skilled labor for the industry.
