The Labour Studies Joint Certificate with the Hamilton & Brantford District Labour Councils

The Labour Councils have a say in the courses needed to qualify for a certificate, which courses are offered, and which instructors are used. During its first twenty years, the Certificate has helped hundreds of workers access the educational resources of McMaster. Many of our graduates have gone on to play important roles in the local labour movement and have filled executive positions in both local unions and on the Hamilton and District Labour Council.

These four courses are required:

  • History of the Labour Movement, parts 1 and 2 (4 units)
  • Challenges Facing the Labour Movement, parts 1 and 2 (4 units)

The remaining 16 units can be selected from a list of electives.
