The Massachusetts Casino Careers Training Institute has added Raynham Park to the list of prospective slots parlor and casino operators agreeing to collaborate on workforce development issues with the consortium of community colleges.
As the would-be operators complete license applications to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, they must identify workforce development resources they’ll tap, according to Jeff Hayden, vice president for business and community service at Holyoke Community College, one of the state’s 15 community colleges that formed the institute.
“They need to show when they have jobs, how they’re going to fill them with local Massachusetts residents,” Hayden said.
A slots facility and three casinos in Greater Boston, southeastern Massachusetts and western Massachusetts are expected to create 10,000 jobs.
The basic memorandums of understanding require the proposed operators to supply information about the types of those jobs and needed qualifications and training.
They’re expected to be replaced with more detailed, formal agreements once the commission chooses operators.
The institute also has agreements with prospective casino operators MGM Resorts, Mohegan Sun and Hard Rock International, and proposed slots parlor operator Penn National.
The institute signed an agreement with the Gaming Commission in December to work together to create training, certification and licensing plans for workers.
