Work Experience at Skyhook Gaming Company

Last week, Mairiella and Katie, two of our Studio School Creative students, spent four days of work experience at one of our partners Skyhook Games.

We asked them what they learnt during their time there. Mairiella shared, "I learnt how the game industry works as well as what it takes to make a game. I also learnt what different jobs you can have and what life in those jobs could be like." Katie said, "We learnt what the individual roles within a video game company consist of and require, as well as the different ways people get into the industry."

With regard to our students' job roles during their time at Skyhook Games, Mairiella said, "I made a selection of projects and spoke to some of the staff members working there and got to see what they were working on." Katie said, "We were assigned projects based on what Skyhook Games is working on."

We asked Mairiella and Katie what they enjoyed the most. Katie highlighted, "I enjoyed being able to experience the office environment as well as being able to speak to people throughout the week."

In terms of how it has prepared them for the jobs of tomorrow, Katie shared, "I'm aware of what a job in the industry may entail and what programs I may be working with." Mairiella said, "I now have a clearer understanding of what a creative office environment is like as well as a better understanding of what career I might want to pursue."

We asked Susan, Head of Studio at Skyhook Games, how Mairiella and Katie's work experience went. She shared, “They got on really well with the tasks set and seemed to have enjoyed it. Hopefully, they got a better idea of what is involved in game design and development, and they had an opportunity to sit with a couple of different artists, QA and marketing to get a feel for what people's roles involve."
