MGM continues to demonstrate its strong commitment to nurturing local talent development by building an industry-leading platform for its team members' continuous learning and career advancement. On September 16, the Company hosted the "MGM Graduation Ceremony 2025" at the MGM Theater, celebrating the milestone achievement of the graduation of 2,500 team members. During the ceremony, MGM also announced the launch of three new talent development programs focused on Hengqin-Macau new quality productivity, leadership enhancement, and youth docent training. These initiatives align with the national strategy to foster high-quality productive forces in the cultural and tourism sectors, and support Macau’s vision of becoming a talent hub in the Greater Bay Area (GBA).

Upgraded Leadership Symposium Series to Enhance Strategic Execution

The “MGM Leadership Symposium" has been upgraded into a comprehensive learning platform. Leveraging the resources and brand networks of its parent company - MGM Resorts International, as well as Diaoyutai MGM Hospitality in mainland China, and with the support of the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ), MGM will collaborate with renowned academic institutions and enterprises both locally and internationally. By integrating academic theory with industry practice, the program aims to help management gain insights into the latest market trends, strengthen leadership capabilities, and align more closely with government development strategies.

Government-Enterprise-School Collaboration to Cultivate Youth Docents

MGM has also partnered with DSEDJ to launch the “MGM Youth Docent Development Program”, extending its cultural and artistic resources to local primary and secondary school students. Through hands-on experiences at MGM’s art spaces and the POLY MGM MUSEUM, the program aims to develop students’ public speaking skills, deepen their cultural awareness, and foster greater confidence and appreciation for traditional heritage among young people.

Joint Efforts to Drive New Quality Productivity in Tourism and Culture

In partnership with the Labour Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government and the Livelihood Affairs Bureau of the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, MGM launched the “Hengqin-Macao Cultural Tourism New Quality, New Productivity Training". Through seminars on smart tourism, technology applications, and other emerging fields, the program encourages team members to stay abreast of technological innovations and market dynamics. By integrating the tourism strengths of both Hengqin and Macau, the program aims to enhance cross-border synergy across cultural and tourism resources and inject fresh momentum into the development of Macau's tourism industry.

Kenneth Feng, President and Executive Director of MGM China Holdings Limited, remarked: "With years of support from the government and community, MGM has continuously strengthened our talent development. Our annual training hours are among the highest in the industry, underscoring our firm commitment and sustained investment in people. The three new programs are testaments to our commitment which not only aligns with national strategies but also contributing to Macau’s diversified growth and development into a ‘World Centre of Tourism and Leisure’. We look forward to cultivating a new generation of professional talent through these initiatives."
