Esports are a great way for students to get in touch with their technical skills and to learn communication and leadership skills that employers are looking for. To help highlight the benefits of esports, Kent ISD Workforce Development has created the Kent County Cup, an opportunity for area high school students to learn about career paths where their skills may benefit and to have a fun day of competition. Parents and employers are invited to learn about the esports boom.
