Construction of Norfolk’s casino near Harbor Park is progressing steadily and is anticipated to generate around 800 jobs. Norfolk State University (NSU) is preparing to support this growing job market with a new educational initiative.
Dr. Moncef Belhadjali, the interim dean of NSU’s School of Business, has collaborated with Professor Larry Epplein to develop an introductory course on gaming management. This program aims to provide an overview of the gaming industry, covering aspects such as scope, staffing, security, taxation, and government policy.
“Would assist the casino operations in hiring qualified people for their operations,” Dr. Belhadjali noted.
