The PEMILRP course is a professional and interdisciplinary course structured to address the many industrial and labour challenges that confront the labour front in Ghana and the African sub-region. Industrial and labour disputes impact negatively on productivity. Ghana in recent times have been encountering unprecedented labour agitations, lockouts, and strikes actions in the face of the global economic crisis both in the public and private sectors. Employers, employees, and trade unions appear engaged in unhealthy labour and industrial practices. Internal industrial disputes have become very complex to handle by human resources managers and labour consultants which directly affects organizational productivity. Good industrial relations result from effective prevention and resolution of conflicts. This professional programme is therefore structured to equip participants with practical skills and tools to handle these issues to enhance the sustainable quality of work, satisfaction, and productivity in the face of these economic crises.
