Resorts World New York City and York College announced their new partnership on an “Introduction to Gaming Operations” course.

The six-week program, which is open to the public, is designed to expose participants to casino operations with the goal of creating a pipeline of local job opportunities at RWNYC, which is just 20 minutes from York’s campus in Jamaica.

The collaboration is part of RWNYC’s long-standing commitment to investing in the economy of its southeast Queens community and creating local job opportunities.

Through the program, RWNYC, which is operated by the Genting Group, has committed to doubling its workforce, adding more than 1,000 union jobs if it is granted a full commercial casino license.
