Red Wagon Institute has joined the Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers (AGEM) as an associate member. The addition is to expand access to leadership and communication training for the association's member companies.

Through the partnership, AGEM members can access all Red Wagon Institute courses at discounted, members-only rates. The programs focus on leadership, team-building, and communication training for organizations of various sizes and are designed for adult learners across all levels of staff.

Red Wagon Institute Founder and Master Trainer Paul Speirs-Hernandez said the collaboration connects the institute’s expertise with gaming suppliers seeking structured professional development.

“We are thrilled to become an associate member of AGEM,” Speirs-Hernandez said. “Our lead trainers have decades of experience in the gaming industry, including operations, communication, and human resources, and we are excited to bring our powerful combination of experiential-based learning to AGEM members.”
