HOLLYWOOD – Seminole Gaming has announced Tribal Career Development program graduate Ervina Capricien as the director of Human Resources for Seminole Classic Casino.

As the HR director, Capricien is responsible for providing strategic direction, guidance, support and oversight to the property. Her role also includes responsibility for directing day-to-day human resources functions, including recruitment, compensation, benefits, training and team member relations.

Most recently, Capricien served as Seminole Gaming’s director of the Tribal Career Development and Team Member Relations director from 2013-16. She will continue to run Seminole Gaming’s TCD program.

Capricien joined Seminole Gaming through the TCD program in 2004 at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. The TCD program blends a mix of on-the-job learning and technical training to prepare members of the Seminole Tribe of Florida for a career within Seminole Gaming and the hospitality industry.

In 2005, she transferred to the Hollywood Hard Rock to complete the program. Through the TCD program, she found herself drawn to two departments: banquets and human resources. After graduating from the TCD program, Capricien chose HR and accepted the human resources coordinator position at the Hollywood Hard Rock in 2010.

In her 12 years with Seminole Gaming, Capricien has worked at all Seminole Gaming properties in Broward County and in every department.

In her free time, Capricien enjoys napping, reading and making memories with her husband and two daughters, Jeanie and Callie.
