Humber Polytechnic Warns of Deep Job Cuts if Voluntary Exit Program Falls Short

What’s Happening at Humber Polytechnic?

Humber Polytechnic has launched a “Voluntary Employee Exit Program” — warning that deeper job cuts could follow if an insufficient number of staffers opt in by March 9, 2026.

“While we are taking every step to minimize impact on our people, the reality is that workforce reductions may be required,” President Ann Marie Vaughan said in a letter to employees.

“These choices are difficult, but necessary. They reflect the scope of our financial challenge, rather than the performance of our people.”

The Toronto-based college added that the program is open to all full-time employees, including members of the executive team.
