This workbook is one in a series developed during a two-year project initiated by the Canadian Gaming Centre of Excellence (CGCE), a subsidiary of Manitoba Lotteries. While the focus of the project involved meeting the training needs of Aboriginal or new Canadians, the material is relevant to any potential or new employees in the gaming industry.

The first section of the workbook offers a review of the underlying document use skills required by most gaming occupations. Topics include signs, lists, labels, forms, tables, and graphics.

For each topic, there are teaching tips; descriptions of skills; and exercises to allow learners to practise their skills.

The second section deals with what the authors call “job families” and contains practice questions organized according to specific kinds of casino and gaming jobs. For example, a learner who needs to develop skills for document use specific to table games can find relevant problems in the “Casino Table Games” section.

The seven workbooks in the series are available for download at this address: http://www.gamingcentreofexcellence.ca/essentialskills/downloadableresources.cfm.
