Aim & Who
Next Level opens doors to the gaming industry for marginalised unemployed young people aged 16–25, combining gaming experiences with mentorship and industry insight.

Why it’s needed
The gaming sector is growing rapidly but remains inaccessible to those without connections or technical skills. Young people often say, “I love gaming, but I didn’t think it could be a career.”

Impact
Through regular gaming sessions, mentorship, and exposure to industry professionals, young people develop digital skills, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. Many secure internships, training opportunities, or entry-level roles. Next Level provides a clear pathway into a thriving sector, turning a passion into a real, sustainable career.
