MGM, Penn, and Mohegan Sun are all vying to put a casino in the state.
The new training collaboration brings a number of entities in the state together, including the Massachusetts Casino Careers Training Institute (a consortium of 15 community colleges and some four-year schools in the state), Penn National Gaming, MGM Resorts International, Western Massachusetts Development Associates, and Mohegan Sun. This video offers an overview of the casino dealer course at Mt. Training will be offered in all aspects of casino operations, from entry-level jobs all the way to management positions.
The new addition will be in preparation for the construction of at least one casino in the western region of the state. In a proactive approach to employee Massachusetts residents, community colleges are partnering with a number of entities to bring casino training to their campuses.
