This year, the program has recruited a total of 67 trainees, and the “Wynn New Talent GO! 2025” was held recently (December 12) at the Grand Theater of Wynn Palace, celebrating the new career milestone for Macao youth.
Adopting a “Hire and Train” approach, the “Wynn Local Development Program 2025” offers 12-36 months of specialized training across departments such as steward, food & beverage, culinary, facilities management and front office services. This year, the program has further expanded to recruit a total of 67 trainees. Representatives from DSAL and Wynn management jointly officiated at the commencement ceremony and presented commemorative gifts to the new cohort of trainees, encouraging them to embark on a new chapter in their careers. The event also included a graduation ceremony for the “Wynn Local Development Program 2024,” where certificates and commemorative gifts were presented to 28 graduates from the previous cohort. All the graduates have been promoted, with some advancing to supervisory-level or similar positions, fully demonstrating Wynn’s commitment to fostering upward mobility for local talent.
Guests attending the ceremony included Director Mr. Chan Un Tong, Deputy Director Ms. Chan Tze Wai, and Head of Vocational Training Department, Ms. Cheung Wai, from the Labour Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government; Ms. Stephanie So, Senior Vice President of Human Resources of Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace; Mr. Jean-Marc Dizerens, Senior Vice President of Food & Beverage of Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace; Mr. Joshua Ho, Senior Vice President of Facilities of Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace; and Mr. Clive Cheng, Senior Vice President of Hotel Operations of Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace, among others.
Ms. Stephanie So, Senior Vice President of Human Resources of Wynn Macau and Wynn Palace, said: “The Wynn Local Development Program sees a surge in the number of interested participants this year compared to last year, which reflects local talent’s enthusiasm and aspiration for hospitality and service industries. We will continue to work closely with DSAL and invest more training resources to further enhance our talent development system, thus creating long-term career development opportunities for local talent and supporting the sustainable growth of tourism in Macao.”
Upholding a ‘people-centered’ philosophy, Wynn has always actively supported the Macao SAR Government’s policies on promoting adequate economic diversification and vocational talent cultivation. To this end, the company has launched various employment and training programs, such as running culinary courses with vocational and technical schools and offering internships with tertiary institutions. With these initiatives, Wynn aims to strengthen local talent cultivation and the talent pool and solidify Macao’s position as a World Center of Tourism and Leisure.
