Deutsche Bahn Esports and apprenticeship, a “perfect match”
The esports player foundation (epf) is consistently committed to supporting talented esports players and at the same time offering them sustainable career opportunities. In cooperation with Deutsche Bahn, epf gives young players the opportunity to combine their passion for esports with solid professional training. Minh Thu Pham is an outstanding example of this.
Minh Thu Pham – Esports and education go hand in hand
Minh Thu Pham is a remarkable young woman who has been doing an apprenticeship as a train traffic controller at Deutsche Bahn since September. At the same time, she has made a name for herself in the top German Valorant league – and as the first and so far only woman to do so. Her story impressively shows how important it is to focus on a solid professional education alongside a career in esports.
Galileo, the well-known German knowledge magazine, accompanied Minh Thu for a day and provides exciting insights into her everyday life between training and esports. This documentary highlights the challenges and opportunities that arise from this special combination.
A solid foundation for the future
The cooperation between the esports player foundation and Deutsche Bahn currently offers 20 young players the opportunity to successfully combine esports and training. This commitment is an important step in ensuring that esports players are successful not only in their gaming careers, but also in their professional lives. It is clear that education plays an essential role as a plan B in order to offer talented individuals long-term security and prospects.
The importance of a solid plan B
A career in esports can be unpredictable and is often associated with numerous uncertainties. It is therefore very important to have a solid plan B. Minh Thu Pham ‘s story is an inspiring example of how the dream of success in esports can be combined with a secure professional future.
