Learn about the new Schell Games Apprenticeship Program! – Schell Games, the largest full-service educational and entertainment game development company in the United States, today announced a partnership with Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) to create the Schell Games Apprenticeship Program (SGAP), a hybrid training curriculum that will guide aspiring gaming professionals through a three-year Associate Degree in Multimedia Programming, Simulation, and Gaming. The program, which launches in the fall of 2022, is a blend of classroom study (20 hours per week) and paid on-the-job training (20 hours) at Schell Games' Station Square office, including professional training and development company-specific onboarding, and curriculum and project work. Schell Games will pay the full tuition of the apprentices, two of whom will make up the program's inaugural class. The company will also provide public transit or parking passes to cover students' commutes. “Game development companies today need to be as innovative in our recruitment and development of talent as we do in our games and applications,” said Schell Games CEO Jesse Schell. “This partnership with CCAC is the first degree-granting apprenticeship program in the games industry. It represents a grassroots effort for the greater Pittsburgh community but also a first step in the creation of a broader, deeper talent pipeline inclusive of students who can't or choose not to attend four-year universities.” Once reserved primarily for trade industries, apprenticeships are becoming more strategically important in sectors such as technology and games. A recent McKinsey & Company study stated that half of all work activities could become automated as soon as 2035, potentially creating a global shortage of skilled workers. Apprenticeship programs address these issues by closing skill gaps or reskilling those uprooted by automation. In the SGAP, participants will work side-by-side with game developers on actual projects to gain real-world experience in the games industry. They will have the opportunity to mentor under every discipline, which includes engineering, design, art, and production. At the end of their apprenticeship, they will have the skills and knowledge to confidently enter the games industry workforce. “The only way to keep up with the pace of automation and close the skills gap is for public education and private companies to come together in new ways,” said Rebecca Dupont, Department Head of Computer Information Technologies, North Campus and West Hills Center for CCAC. “We hope that this initiative with Schell Games is a template for business and academia alike.” CCAC students interested in applying for the SGAP can do so through the school's website. The application includes a 300-word essay indicating their desire and outlining their strengths and what they hope to gain from the program. A selection committee will interview finalists chosen from the application pool and select the final candidates no later than July 2022. # # # ABOUT SCHELL GAMES Schell Games is the largest full-service educational and entertainment game development company in the United States.

Hello World! The interview recording begins during a discussion about choir, as Bonnie stays active in various ensembles. Bonnie: "What's nice about keeping up with...side gigs of singing is it keeps your voice in check and it gives you an excuse to practice everyday..." From there they discuss college music programs and how they can vary. Bonnie went to Duquesne University for an experimental multimedia and music program (which they would eventually pull the plug on). As a result, she got to focus on the kind of multimedia technical skills she wanted to, within that umbrella. After graduating she toured with a few different theatre companies. "But eventually like, whenever I started doing games ... if you think about interactive cool theatre where stuff happens, and audio happens and visual cues happen, games are pretty much a theatre that you play...when you play a game you are entering in to this world and the experience is like you're sitting in a 4D theatre..." After talking more about education and the changing times, Bonnie steers the conversation towards the gender advocacy perspective of gaming. She's enjoyed seeing the growth of women's participation in the gaming audio industry. She reflects on her raising (in Pittsburgh we should add), as a sole younger sister among several brothers. She remembers playing with all the same toys as her brothers, including the power tools (for instance). Bonnie wonders, if she had been treated differently from her brothers, would she have had the resilience to join and thrive in a male dominated industry like gaming? Bonnie: "This is the interesting part of the interview where I'm left alone..." wherein she drops a fabulous plug for her web presence. After Tangela comes back, Bonnie describes a zombies-themed multimedia production she got to organize in Pittsburgh. A couple of the extras from the production worked for Schell Games. They later recruited her to the company. Bonnie says that getting a bachelor's degree in something, "even if it's math," is important for getting a staffed position at a gaming company. She points out that she likes to see a balance in resumes she looks at, where, yes they have a degree in something pertinent, and they've got some kind of portfolio in related work. After talking about representation and free educational sources, they spent some time discussing social media. Bonnie points shares a little about her time managing social media for multiple theatre related projects and companies. From there, Bonnie shares her perspective on Gamergate. One of her colleagues at the time was the target of some severe harassment. During the Game Developers Conference in July, Bonnie participated in the Loud Secrets of Game Audio Roundtable (presented by International Game Developers Association). This roundtable was organized for discussing sexism and related issues in the workplace. That discussion includes the subject of hiring practices and office politics, and how to combat those issues. These issues are becoming more and more topical across all sectors of the audio industry. Bonnie is on the board for the National Audio Theatre Festival, and reports they just had their first diversity and inclusion roundtable discussion. Bonnie likes the roundtable format over the panel, because it's less structured and more open. She says the best ones she's seen have been the ones that weren't recorded (to save from liability). This episode was recorded over squadcast.fm on October 27, 2021. Bonnie Bogovich always has her fingers in a plethora audio pies! As a sound designer, she has spent over a decade designing audio on a variety of award-winning educational products, virtual and augmented reality simulations, interactive experiences, audio plays and theme park attractions including "I Expect You To Die", Sea World's "Race For The Beach", Legendary's "Annihilator", Earplay's "Jurassic World Revealed," KQMP's "At The Tone", and the upcoming multiplayer...

Throughout this month, we've been taking a deeper dive into the world of video games recruitment and the challenges facing both applicants wanting to enter the industry and companies wanting to secure the best talent. For our fourth and final 'jobscast,' we take a look at the role recruitment plays in diversifying the industry workforce and supporting staff equally - a rather fitting topic given that we recorded on the day of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit. Our panel this week includes Creative Assembly's Emma Smith, Iron Galaxy's Rejess Marshall, Phoenix Labs' Jeanne-Marie Owens and Schell Games' Lauren Reed. We discuss how games companies can expand where they search for new recruits, improve their job listings and interview processes to appeal to a broader range of applicants, and the importance of fair compensation. Please note: We had a few connectivity issues during the panel, so there are some brief glitches in the audio, for which we apologise. This series is part of our Get A Job In Games Month. Title music composed by Thomas Marchant.
How to Save the World | A Podcast About the Psychology of Environmental Action
If you want to save the Earth, you need to think like a game designer. In this episode, I sat down with Jesse Schell, author of the canonical game design textbook, The Art of Game Design, and asked him how he would go about saving the planet as a game designer. Jesse is a Distinguished Professor of Experience Design at Carnegie Mellon University and the CEO of Schell Games. Think about these qualities : peak motivation, obsessive focus, a drive to win, life-long mastery of a complex skill, desire for epic planetary-wide quests — it all sounds like a pretty good skill set to save our real planet, right? Manifesting these emotions listed above is the craft that game designers specialize in. People who specialize in game design are a treasure-trove of design-thinking insight about how to get people into a state of obsessive flow, hack into human happiness, and pique the reward system of the brain. I love Jesse's book The Art of Game Design because when I read it a few years ago, I asked myself “how would l apply all this game design thinking to climate change, plastic waste, or eating less meat”? Reading a game design textbook through the eyes of an environmentalist opened my imagination when thinking of ideas for environmental change, in a way that nothing else really has.

Dylan is accompanied by Wardcast stalwarts Dan Cotting and Mason Brown for a very special episode. Shawn Patton, Senior Designer at Schell Games, stops by to talk about their currently in-development VR game I Expect You to Die. Shawn comes from more than 13 years of experience in game development at Schell Games, so he talks to us about a myriad of topics: working at Schell, the new frontier of VR development, being a graduate from the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon, interning at Walt Disney Imagineering, prototyping games via “brownboxing,” helping Dylan with the chance to close a chapter on a childhood MMO he never got the chance to play, and more. If you’re curious about learning more about the development of I Expect You to Die, we also highly recommend Shawn and Jesse Schell’s VRDC talk on the game from the 2016 Game Developers Conference. Games include I Expect You to Die, Superhot VR, EVE: Valkyrie, and Eagle Flight. Got a question for the show? Join us on Discord or email us at contact@ward-games.com!

I'll leave your house in shambles and disappear for six months…” The commercial works because we can relate to it and it's funny. But it's also a learning opportunity.
