Philtronics and the Power of Esports

In the world of technology and electronics, a growing trend is emerging –  companies getting involved with grassroots sports. As a small but growing business with a real investment in our local communities, we understand the importance of nurturing local talent and supporting young people in pursuing a genuine interest in technology. To show our commitment, we’ve taken our relationship with Coleg y Cymoedd to the next level by sponsoring their Esports Wales League. But what impact will this have on the students we’re supporting and the growth of the electronics industry? Read on to find out. 

Esports jersey sponsorship

By sponsoring two local college Esports teams from Coleg y Cymoedd, the Cymoedd Crusaders and Rhondda Rising, we’re not only recognising the potential of our younger, tech-savvy audiences – we're getting in front of them. This type of sponsorship, particularly jerseys, helps support the teams financially while ensuring the Philtronics brand is visible among students and fans who follow these competitions. By putting the Philtronics brand at the forefront of the digital, competitive gaming sphere, we recognise the significant benefits the sector offers local colleges like Coleg y Cymoedd. From supplying equipment and training opportunities, even to providing career opportunities for students – the profile boosting offered through the Esports Wales League opens doors to more than just funds.

As well as providing opportunities in an educational setting, this type of sponsorship will also offer students recreational and professional pathways into gaming, along with plenty of other benefits such as: 

Benefits for students:

• Career awareness: By showcasing real-world industry involvement, students gain insight into possible career paths within gaming, electronic and technology sectors, ranging from professional gaming to roles in marketing, software development, or content creation. 
• Increased educational opportunities: Sponsorship often comes with additional resources like workshops, mentorship, or access to industry-standard technology, offerings that we are keen to explore and evolve at Philtronics. 
• Skills development: Students can develop not just their gaming skills but also skills like teamwork and public speaking, as well as increased motivation and confidence 
• Networking opportunities: Interactions with industry professionals through sponsored events or programmes can lead to internships, or even job offers; providing a direct link from education to employment. This is something we’re already growing at Philtronics through our connections with local schools and colleges that promote career pathways and apprenticeship opportunities.
