Publisher partners with Moroccan audiovisual company Sigma Technologies on gaming and animated-film training center opening in October.
Last year, the Moroccan government created an incentive program to encourage companies to create new tech-industry jobs in the country as well as train individuals for those positions. One publisher to take Morocco up on its offer was Ubisoft. The publisher said it would be dramatically expanding its Northern Africa operationsfrom 50 to 150 positions by 2010.
Today, the publisher said that it would also be partnering with Moroccan audiovisual company Sigma Tecnologies on a new digital media training campus. The school's curriculum will focus on training individuals for jobs in the gaming and animated-film industries, with courses ranging from "programming to 3D animation and modelling, game and level design to project management."
Ubisoft's campus will be located in Morocco's capital of Casablanca and expects to open its doors in October. It has been modeled after a similar campus in Montreal, where many of Ubisoft's top games are created, including Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas.
