MD SCSEP is very interested in the amusement, gambling, and recreation industry due to its long term job development potential for older workers in the current service area. For example, Rocky Gap Casino opened in May 2013 in Cumberland, Maryland, and the Horseshoe Casino opened in August 2014 in Baltimore City. Both facilities have quickly become employers of choice in their respective regions. The Horseshoe Casino employs 1,700 workers in a variety of roles. Organizational leaders are committed to hiring Baltimore City residents and are offering extensive training specific to various fields, including game dealing, customer service, security, and food and beverage services.
The program intends to further develop similar opportunities at the National Harbor development project. The program intends to coordinate with the Maryland National Grantee, Senior Service America, Inc., as well as local workforce development initiatives in Prince George’s and Charles counties, to draw participants living within the commuting area to lucrative, long-term job training and unsubsidized employment opportunities.
Occupational growth, which occurs by job without regard to specific industry, will also continue to factor into how MD SCSEP establishes and executes job development partnerships.
