EA Sports Allies With UCF To Emanate Innovation Lab Program

EA Sports partnered with the University of Central Florida's FIEA (Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy) to emanate an "innovation lab" for students to work on projects in the games industry. EA Sports will offer extra internships for students, in that they will work on "the ultimate products is to ultimate platforms, using the ultimate collection and technologies."

"By substantiating pipelines right away in to existing Orlando-based digital media businesses, inclusive our local EA SPORTS studio, EA-Tiburon, you can keep developing jobs in the state of Florida," EA Sports VP and COO Daryl Holt mentioned in the statement .

Florida Governor Rick Scott echoed Holt's sentiments. "Preparing Florida students for high-tech jobs, along with our state's aggressive mercantile incentives, gives Florida an value over other states and ensures high-value businesses open their doors in our state, instead of someplace else," he said.

The attribute between EA Sports and FIEA dates back to Mar 2005, when one-time EA VP and COO Ben Noel became the senior manager director of the educational program.
