Greater Boston Gaming Career Institute
Cambridge College
This hospitality and gaming industry workforce development initiative, located at Cambridge College’s Charlestown campus, is designed to meet the table dealer employment needs of the new Everett-based five-star resort and casino. The collaboration between Encore Boston Harbor and Cambridge College seamlessly delivered over 340 dealers trained in Poker, Blackjack, Baccarat, and several other table games for the June 2019 launch of the casino. Goals to optimize diversity and the engagement of local residents, coupled with an affordable, accessible and flexible delivery model were effectively delivered through the shared efforts of the College and Encore. The program will continue to train dealers to meet the staffing needs of Encore.
