Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) continues to reinforce its long-standing commitment to supporting the Macau SAR Government’s “Building Macau with Talent Training” policy through a comprehensive suite of talent development initiatives.
At the “IR Talent Empowerment Showcase and MOU Signing Ceremony” held at The Ritz-Carlton, Macau, GEG formalized a new phase of industry-academia collaboration with the Macao University of Tourism (“UTM”) through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding focused on advancing local talent cultivation.
Central to the partnership is the launch of the “Integrated Resort Innovative Service Experts Program” (“IRISE Program”), alongside the continuation of the “Experience Macao with GEG” initiative, first introduced in 2024. Together, these programs are designed to nurture a new generation of integrated resort professionals equipped with international perspectives and industry-relevant expertise, while supporting Macau’s economic diversification and long-term growth.
The showcase also highlighted GEG’s broader talent development ecosystem, including recognition of team members who completed the “IR Youth Development Program” in collaboration with the Labour Affairs Bureau (“DSAL”), as well as participation in structured leadership training initiatives such as the “Managers to Leaders Program,” “Senior Manager Program,” and “GEG Elite Trainer Program.”
To date, these programs have supported the development of more than 500 local talents. Complementing these efforts, the “Experience Macao with GEG” program continues to deepen cultural engagement through immersive learning and thematic seminars, including a recent session on Macau’s Intangible Cultural Heritage featuring participation from over 100 frontline team members.
Driven by a strong culture of lifelong learning, GEG delivered over 1.4 million hours of professional training in 2025 alone, underscoring its sustained investment in workforce development. The Group’s efforts have received extensive industry recognition, including “Team of the Year – Hospitality & Leisure” at the Hong Kong Business Management Excellence Awards 2026 and multiple accolades at the 5th National Human Resources Innovation Competition.
Moving forward, GEG remains committed to strengthening its collaboration with academic institutions and government partners, further enhancing its talent pipeline and supporting Macau’s vision as a leading global tourism and leisure destination.
