Making games is multidisciplinary teamwork at its finest and coming along with different types of people is crucial. Equally important is the flexibility one can practice around their main role. This adaptability is highlighted especially when finding one's first position in a small or mid-sized studio.
However, these soft skills are rarely the main topic of any university course.

So how does the Jamk BIT program ensure that future game professionals graduate with sufficient teamwork skills and the ability to adapt to the changes that most game studios go through?

Discussing the topic from an employer perspective is Dmytro Zhovtobryukh, CEO of Snowhound Games and from an educator perspective, Risto Koskenkorva, Senior Lecturer of the Jamk Business Information Technology program. The discussion is hosted by Wanda O Rly (Valtteri Lahti), Chairperson of Expa Game Business Cooperative.
