MGM has partnered with the Yorkshire Online Academy to introduce a virtual classroom that offers a series of practical new courses, the gaming operator announced in a statement.
During the business-matching session under the “MYEIC ProQ Alliance” program co-organized by MGM and Macao Young Entrepreneur Incubation Center in late 2019, MGM met with young local entrepreneur Yorkshire Online Academy, which resulted in a partnership to launch a training program in Putonghua for commercial purposes.
As of today, over 1,000 team members have already registered on this platform, said MGM. Thirty more new virtual classroom courses will be launched with Yorkshire Online Academy, covering areas such as hotel operations, customer services and food safety.
Meanwhile, the MGM eAcademy introduced a Special Selection series in February. The series consists of six topics, including those developed by local SMEs and other learning partners of MGM such as Harvard Business Review and the University of Macau.
According to the gaming operator, over 4,000 team members have signed up for the series, enabling them to learn freely through their mobile devices, even when they are off-property.
Wendy Yu, executive vice president of Human Resources, said, “With our collaboration in the virtual classroom, we are able to enjoy reasonably priced and flexible products as well as fulfilling our commitment in supporting local SMEs.”
“During the epidemic, it allows team members who stay home to continue learning and develop their skills,” she added.
