Description

Telford College of Arts and Technology is reported to be cutting 76 jobs. The college, which according to sources has been operating with surplus capacity for some time, currently employs 480 staff. A statutory period of consultation is currently underway and it is understood that the college will open a voluntary redundancy scheme in a bid to minimise the number of compulsory job exits. A spokesperson for the University and College Union (UCU) commented that it was hoped the number of redundancies would be reduced through the consultation process. The final outcomes on numbers and timeframe will follow the consultation's conclusion.
