Algonquin College and Centennial College have each announced additional program cuts. Algonquin will phase out the academic upgrading courses offered at the Ottawa campus, which are reportedly funded through a contract with the Government of Ontario. Current students in the courses will be able to complete their courses during a six-month transition period. The college said in a statement that it is collaborating with other providers to help students continue their education. CBC reports that Centennial is suspending additional programs, in addition to suspensions announced earlier this year. The Toronto Star reports that Centennial has also informed staff that it is reducing its workforce “to reduce costs and increase efficiencies in non-school areas.”
