Abstract

During the past two years, the Centre for Labour Studies (CLS) continued to consolidate its position as a dynamic teaching and research centre within the University of Malta. For the first time in its history, the Centre started offering courses at multiple levels ranging from Master to Diploma level. These include our first Master level course in Lifelong Career Guidance and Development; two bachelor degree courses - one in Work and Human Resources and the other in Occupational Health and Safety, and our revised Diploma Course in Gender, Work and Society. These courses attracted well over a hundred students, the majority of whom work and study with us on a part time basis.
