Liverpool FC has joined forces with Google Pixel and The
Powerhouse Project to launch Pixel FC Academy to help young women break into
the football media and content creation industry.
The Academy is a five-month programme of workshops across
every aspect of modern sports media, from broadcast punditry, production and
written press to creating viral social content.
Liverpool will support the programme by providing
valuable hands-on experience to Academy members including sessions where they
get to film with the LFC Women’s team and the chance to cover an LFC Women’s
WSL match, with the content being used for digital and social channels.
There is also the potential for Academy members to secure
future work with Liverpool after graduating, including paid work experience,
internships, or freelance work, depending on available positions and
performance.The landmark initiative will also be delivered by leading voices in
football with representatives from ITV, 90MIN and more who will provide
opportunities, training, and inspiration for women and girls looking to pursue
a career in sports media.
Each Academy member will receive a mentor from the sports
industry to support their development and provide long-term guidance. Academy
members will also be trained on the role of AI and how it can enhance sports
coverage when used in conjunction with Pixel products, which will be provided
for their use throughout the programme.
The application window for Pixel FC Academy is now open
to aspiring female creators and closes November 18th (T&Cs apply). For more
