South Korea.- Jeju Shinhwa World<\/strong> has completed the first phase of a vocational training programme aimed at helping people in their 40s and 50s enter South Korea\u2019s casino and integrated resort workforce. The Jeju-Settlement-Oriented Integrated Resort Professional Training Programme<\/strong> was developed through cooperation between Jeju Shinhwa World\u2019s Education and Job Support Centre, the Jeju Center for Middle-Aged Career Development under the Korea Labor and Employment Service (Nosa Development Foundation) and Les A Casino<\/strong>, operated by Landing Entertainment Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is described as South Korea\u2019s first casino vocational training programme specifically designed for middle-aged jobseekers. The first cohort comprised 12 participants from Jeju, Daegu and the Jeolla region, who completed the training on November 9. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants completed 160 hours of training over one month, covering practical casino operations, integrated resort services and employment preparation. The organisers provided free accommodation and meals throughout the training period, allowing participants from outside Jeju to stay on the island while completing the programme. All 12 graduates will have the opportunity to attend recruitment interviews at Les A Casino. Those who pass the selection process will be employed as casino dealers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The programme follows a memorandum of understanding signed in September 2026 involving Jeju Shinhwa World\u2019s Education and Job Support Centre, regional offices of the Korea Labor and Employment Service and Les A Casino. The partnership aims to address workforce demand across Jeju\u2019s integrated resort and tourism sectors while improving employment opportunities for middle-aged people seeking to re-enter the labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A representative of Jeju Shinhwa World\u2019s Education and Job Support Centre said the initiative would support recruitment based on professional skills rather than age, as South Korea faces an ageing population. The partners are considering extending it to other integrated resort roles, including hotel housekeeping and food and beverage (F&B) services.<\/p>\n\n\n
