Cyprus.- Melco\u2019s City of Dreams Mediterranean <\/strong>integrated resort has launched Cyprus\u2019s first in-house table games dealer school. The school offers opportunities for prospective dealers who wish to work at Europe’s first integrated resort. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Suitable candidates over the age of 21 will be invited to enrol in a paid three-month programme to receive training from table games experts and go on to become part of the company. Those who join the company will begin paid employment on December 5 and take their first training session at the Zavos Pavilion in Limassol<\/strong>. The second session will commence on January 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grant Johnson<\/strong>, property general manager of City of Dreams Mediterranean and Cyprus Casinos, said: “in alignment with our global recruitment philosophy which is to \u2018hire on attitude, image and potential and train on skills,\u2019 we focus on selecting talent with the highest potential to serve guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “As colleagues who interact most with our clientele, dealers are the face of the establishment. They must possess qualities such as adaptability, agility, perfectionism and knowledge. Dealing is an art form, and we want to ensure Melco\u2019s dealers master the art through a paid three-month training programme \u2013 learning from the best in the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Melco expects to create 2,500 permanent jobs when City of Dreams Mediterranean<\/strong> opens.
