Macau, December 21, 2018 ─ Wynn has long devoted effort to cultivating local talents and providing different continuing education courses to team members, in order to assist them to better equip themselves and increase their competitiveness, thereby providing them with opportunities for upward and lateral mobility.

This also marked a record high in the number of participants compared with past years.
 
ISCG at the University of Macau recently held a graduation ceremony for all the graduates. The ceremony was officiated by Prof. Rose Lai Neng, associate dean of the Faculty of Business Administration at UM, Prof. Davis Fong Ka Chio, director of the ISCG, and management representatives from the gaming operators. Graduates who had completed the 12th 'Diploma in Casino Management' program or 8th 'Advanced Diploma in Gaming Management' program were awarded certificates. Moreover, nine of the fourteen students awarded as either 'Outstanding Graduates' or 'Distinction Graduates' are from Wynn, an encouraging result.
 
Participating students said that the course design aligned with the development trends of the industry, and provided them with specialized professional knowledge that will enable them to use what they have learnt in the workplace. This also underlines Wynn's devotion to providing its team members with opportunities for well-rounded professional development, building a solid foundation for the sustainable development of Macau's gaming industry. Since the launch of the diploma programs, a
 
total of 145 members from Wynn have enrolled in the courses, helping to cultivate more specialized talents who will help support the future of the industry.
