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 information and to apply, visit here.
