October 31, 2017 – Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”) strives to provide ample opportunities for team members to hone their talents and professional skills, encouraging them to broaden their horizons by participating in local and international competitions. GEG is proud of Ronnie Cheng, a talented young engineer in the Facilities Management Department of Galaxy Macau™, who represented Macau in the 44^th WorldSkills Competition in Abu Dhabi. Cheng participated in the category of Mechatronics, competing alongside 73 other participants in his category from 37 countries and territories.

GEG made special arrangements to allow Cheng to join all the trainings provided by the Labour Affairs Bureau and relevant activities on paid workdays, including over 360 hours of training in eight months, a 15-day intensive training session in Shanghai in May and a seven-day competition in Hong Kong in June. His outstanding performance landed Cheng in first place in the Macau leg, and he was selected to represent Macau in the WorldSkills Competition in Abu Dhabi.
