Foreword [Centre for Labour Studies : Biennial Report : 2017-2018]

Abstract

This publication allows us to reflect on the work carried out by the Centre. During the last two years, the Centre was concurrently offering a three-year Master Degree Course in Lifelong Career Guidance and Development; a part-time five year Honours Bachelor Degree course in Work and Human Resources (1st, 3rd and 5th year cohort); an Honours Bachelor Degree course, also part-time, in Occupational Health and Safety (1st and 3rd year cohort); and a Diploma course in Gender, Work and Society. During this period we also prepared the ground work for a new certificate course in the Practice of Cooperative Societies which is due to open in 2019. Most of our lectures are delivered in the evening, and like other years, most of our students were also concurrently working whilst studying with us. As at December 2018, the number of students within the Centre was 153 and we had 24 students graduating in November 2018.
