Red River College Polytechnic has announced that it will close several programs and lay off staff as a result of increased costs and changing enrolment trends. According to CBC, 26 employees will be laid off. A total of seven programs, including the applied accounting certificate program and the computer numerical control machining diploma program have been cancelled, while four programs are being closed temporarily, reports the Winnipeg Free Press. The polytechnic also reportedly plans to reduce capacity for three of its programs. Students currently enrolled in the programs will be able to complete their studies without interruption.
