The Diploma in Labour Education (DLE) program, offered by the Institute of Human Resource Advancement (IHRA) at the University of Colombo, is a comprehensive educational initiative designed to empower individuals with knowledge and skills in labor-related fields. This program is ideal for professionals, labor activists, trade union members, government employees, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing labor issues. Through a well-structured curriculum, the DLE program equips students with insights into labor laws, industrial relations, labor economics, and social justice, fostering a deep understanding of the complexities within the labor sector. Graduates emerge with the expertise needed to promote fair labor practices, contribute to workplace harmony, and advocate for the rights and welfare of workers.

*The Diploma program is only offered as a bridging program to allow those who do not possess the requisite qualifications to directly enter the Bachelors’ program. The Diploma in Labour Education is not offered as a separate Diploma, but only as an entry qualification to enter into the Bachelor of Labour Management(BLM) program. Therefore, even when a student decides to stop with the Diploma in Labour Education(DLE), she/he will not be provided with a separate Diploma Certificate.

Objectives

Comprehensive Legal Understanding: The program aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of labor laws, regulations, and policies, ensuring they are well-versed in the legal framework governing labor relations.
Effective Labor Advocacy: Another objective is to equip students with the skills and knowledge necessary for effective labor advocacy, empowering them to represent workers’ interests and negotiate on behalf of employees.
Promotion of Social Justice: The DLE program seeks to foster a commitment to social justice and workers’ rights, encouraging participants to actively engage in efforts to create fair and equitable labor practices.
Conflict Resolution Competence: A critical objective is to enhance participants’ abilities in conflict resolution and dispute management within labor contexts, enabling them to contribute to harmonious workplace relations.
Industry Impact: Finally, the program strives to prepare graduates to have a meaningful impact on labor practices and policies within their respective industries and communities, advocating for fair labor practices and positive change.
