MGM launches staff development programs through learning festival

MGM has launched three talent development initiatives covering academic advancement, professional training and Chinese cultural education as part of its Learning Festival 2026, which opened at MGM Cotai on Nov. 5.

Jointly organized with the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) and the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL), the two-month festival brings together more than 30 government departments, professional bodies, associations and educational institutions to provide staff with information on further education and training opportunities.

At the opening ceremony, MGM signed a memorandum of understanding with the Macau Institute of Management and Zhejiang University, with DSEDJ’s support, to strengthen cooperation between education providers and the business sector.

The academic development initiative extends MGM’s existing education programs to master’s-level studies. Since introducing secondary education courses in 2016, more than 300 employees have enrolled, with 160 obtaining secondary school diplomas.

The festival features more than 20 information booths and over 30 activities covering artificial intelligence, digital technology, professional services, arts and culture, and personal development.
