MGM joined forces with the City University of Macau (CityU) to organize the “Responsible Gaming Campus Ambassador” Program from September to November, aiming to promote proper financial management and values among college students.
This program concluded with a certificate award ceremony for nearly 40 ambassadors from various majors such as International Tourism and Management, Social Work and so on.
Han Tian, Executive Vice President of Gaming Operations & Strategic Marketing of MGM, said: “The Macao Youth Policy (2021-2030) strongly emphasizes moral education and healthy living, therefore MGM strives to leverage our strengths to contribute to this field. As the first integrated resorts operator to collaborate with local universities on a sustainable RG promotion program, we signed a memorandum of understanding with CityU earlier this year and rolled out a series of initiatives including this Program to local youths as well as mainland students. We hope that these participants can extend what they have learned to their friends and families, further disseminating RG-related information beyond Macau.”
Robert Chan, Pro-Rector of CityU, said: “The in-depth understanding of proper financial values and RG will not only broaden our students’ horizons but also serve as the foundation for building a harmonious society. After the completion of this Program, we anticipate the ambassadors will become RG advocates and give back to the society.”
The Program is comprised of thematic courses and promotional practice, with the aim to enhance the participants’ sense of social responsibility while improving their communication, organizational and teamwork skills.
MGM and CityU have invited experts in tourism and leisure industry as well as the social service sector to provide courses for the participants, in order to deepen their knowledge.
These courses mainly focused on the tourism and leisure industry’s function and position in the development of the society, gaming industry’s history and development, RG policies, RG’s importance of Macau’s sustainable development, as well as the introduction and prevention of gaming-related issues.
The participants will then need to put theory into practice by organizing RG promotional roadshow on campus, taking part in MGM’s RG promotional activities in local community and more.
