The United States Gaming Consortium (USGC), in collaboration with the RG24seven digital learning platform, has introduced a complimentary anti-human trafficking educational course. This endeavor seeks to address trafficking within the gambling sector.
Timed to coincide with National Human Trafficking Awareness Day on January 11th, the course leverages knowledge from charitable groups, law enforcement agencies, and the USGC’s own anti-trafficking working group. The instruction employs multimedia presentations and assessments to educate attendees, who are awarded a certification upon finishing. Entities interested in offering this training to their personnel can reach out to RG24seven for admittance.
The USGC’s endeavors are a component of a wider industry initiative to tackle human trafficking. Hard Rock International and Seminole Gaming, as an illustration, have also augmented their own instructional programs and assets to combat trafficking. Hard Rock alone has instructed over 27,000 hospitality and casino personnel on trafficking recognition and deterrence in recent times.
“Eradicating human trafficking is integral to our industry’s dedication to the localities where we conduct business,” stated Alex Costello, USGC Vice President of Governmental Affairs.
The United States Gaming Group (USGG) is firmly opposing human trafficking, a terrible offense present in numerous sectors, including the gambling realm. To fight this, they’ve initiated a complimentary educational course for all casino personnel, encompassing reception and gaming areas, to aid in identifying and reporting questionable behavior.
Wendy Anderson, the head of RG24seven, the firm that created the course, conveyed her satisfaction in collaborating with the USGG on this vital endeavor.
Beyond the training, the USGG is making a concerted effort throughout January, designated as “Human Trafficking Awareness Month.” They are introducing a specialized resource kit tailored for the gaming sector and conducting gatherings nationwide, including at the University of Maryland’s National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
