Cogswell College students had the opportunity to sit down with one of the largest gaming companies in the industry

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Founded in 1979 as the first independent video game software developer and distributor, Activision launched a series of multi-million unit selling titles in the early 1980s for the Atari 2600. Such titles included Pitfall, Kaboom! and River Raid. Today, Activision is a leading worldwide developer, publisher, and distributor of interactive entertainment and leisure products for various consoles, handheld platforms, and PC. With such games as Call of Duty, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro, it is safe to say that Activision has a heavy hand in the current climate of the gaming industry.

Cogswell College students not only had the opportunity to learn about internal operations at Activision, but also what types of needs and career opportunities exist. This allowed students to gain valuable insight into what areas of focus may be most important for them as they embark on their careers post-graduation. Not only were students able to learn about the needs and opportunities at Activision, but they were able to establish relationships and plant seeds with one of the leading companies in the gaming industry. "We've talked to a lot of different schools, and I'll tell you that the students are really engaged. It was like constantly questions or even bouncing off each other and making the questions into new topics, so it was really fun as an employer coming to the campus!" says University Relations Recruiter for Activision, Erin Breslin.
