The Game is On”, We Discussed Digital Career Opportunities!

With the online event “The Game is On: Creating a Career in the Digital and Gaming Industry” on March 9, we elaborated more on the new-age digital career fields, employment processes in game companies, and what young people who are looking for a career in big companies should do.

INGEV President Vural Çakır:

“This year, INGEV’s work has focused especially on women and youth employment. We have focused more on digitalization with the effects of global trends and the impact of Covid-19. Our services include training and entrepreneurship support in a wide range from social media management to digital marketing. At the same time, we are trying to expand some initiatives to global funds and investments. Categorically, we pay special attention to vulnerable groups, specifically refugees.”

Kariyer.net Chief Human Resources Officer Çağlayan Karalar:

Discussed the future of digital jobs at the panel titled “Tips for a Digital Career: How to Look for a Job and How to Stand Out?”:

– There is a considerable gap in digital talent, thousands of positions are open every year, and new graduates are far below this figure.
– Not only those who have a university education in this field, but everyone who wants to improve themselves, including vulnerable groups, has a very high chance of finding a digital job.
– The search for digital talent will increase in the coming years, and the demand for digital jobs will grow accordingly.

The second panel, titled “The Game is On,” was held with executives from Multiplayer and Games United, two of the important actors of the game industry in Turkey.

 Games United Chairman of the Board Dr. Bilgehan Baykal:

– Gaming is beyond games. So the game industry can grow unexpectedly by absorbing e-commerce. Currently, the music industry is worth USD 20 Billion, and the Cinema industry is USD 200 Billion. Although the gaming industry is brand new, it will be bigger than these two ancient industries and will offer millions of people a brand new employment area in the future.
– There is a talent gap in two areas. It is necessary to achieve these to adapt to Web 3.0. Blockchain and Unreal Engine (real-time 3D environment rendering) require expertise and more ideas.

Multiplayer Head of Agency Koray Gök:

– Coding languages will change entirely. Blockchain capabilities will come to the fore, but more importantly, “enthusiasm and self-development” will continue to be our top priority in recruitment processes in the gaming industry.
– In the gaming industry, there will be more focus on specialized software and game analysis in the future.
– A more liberated youth population will ensure that Turkey can dominate the gaming industry globally.
