NKUHT Hosts Gaming Dealer Workshop, Offering Internship and Employment Opportunities in Singapore

National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism (NKUHT)'s Department of Recreation and Leisure Management collaborated with a renowned Singaporean hotel's gaming and entertainment department to host a "Gaming Dealer Workshop," inviting outstanding alumni to share their experiences and offering students internship and employment opportunities at overseas entertainment complexes.

The two-day workshop took place at NKUHT. The university stated that on the first day, two alumni working as dealers in a top luxury hotel casino in Singapore shared their expertise, including precise gaming mental arithmetic and international standard gestures. Through "hands-on" immersive teaching, students were able to accurately master chip management techniques, ensuring every action met the stringent standards of international luxury entertainment venues.

Cai Xin-you, Director of NKUHT's Department of Recreation and Leisure Management, stated that gaming is an indispensable entertainment facility in integrated resort hotels. The department has long cultivated this field through two core distinctive courses, "Introduction to Gaming Business" and "Gaming Business Operations and Management," and simulates real scenarios in professional settings on campus, comprehensively training students in operational logic, management awareness, and risk control capabilities.

The university announced that the second day of the workshop featured a high-intensity "assessment and evaluation" session. Students were required to fully demonstrate dealer operation techniques for Blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Baccarat. Alumni and human resources executives from the international group jointly evaluated them, strictly ensuring talent quality.

Furthermore, the workshop offered exclusive career opportunities "limited to NKUHT's Department of Recreation and Leisure Management." For fourth-year students, outstanding performers could directly compete for post-graduation positions at top entertainment complexes in Singapore, achieving employment immediately after graduation. Second and third-year students could pre-book overseas internship slots for 2027, completing their career path planning during their studies and securing early positions.

NKUHT President Fang De-long said that this workshop is not only a skill exchange but also an important milestone for the Department of Recreation and Leisure Management in deepening international industry-academia collaboration. By leveraging the high-salary incentives and professional HR guidance provided by large integrated resorts, the gap between industry and academia is effectively narrowed, enabling students to possess immediate combat readiness before stepping out of school and building a broader international stage for them.
