Foreword [Centre for Labour Studies : biennial report : 2021-2022]

Abstract

The CLS has developed from offering its first course in 1983, a Diploma in Labour Studies, to offering four tertiary courses: the Diploma in Gender, Work and Society (held in collaboration with the Faculty of Social Wellbeing), the Bachelor in Work and Human Resources (Hons) (in collaboration with the Faculty for Economics, Management and Accountancy), the Bachelor in Occupational Health and Safety (Hons), and the Masters in Lifelong Career Guidance and Development (together with the Faculty of Education). The courses offered by the CLS have been a considerable success. The CLS has contributed to society by producing qualified practitioners in fields of national importance, including industrial relations, gender equality, human resources, occupational health and safety, and career guidance, amongst others. Over the years, several alumni have held top positions in public and private organisations, whilst also contributing to society via NGOs.
