Hong Kong’s MTR Corporation, which will be the operator of Macau’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) for at least five years, has already hired over 570 staff, of which three-quarters are local residents while the others are mainly experienced technical managers from the Hong Kong MTR, Transport Infrastructure Office (GIT) Director Ho Cheong Kei told lawmakers yesterday.
Ho announced the figures during a Q&A session in the legislature’s hemicycle.
Ho added that 450 of the local staff have post-secondary education, 150 of whom had engineering-related degrees. The MTR has launched over 200 training classes for the LRT maintenance, operations, danger management and around 50 other kinds of courses.
