What’s Happening at Mohawk College?

After slashing hundreds of jobs last year, Mohawk College is looking to trim its headcount further — offering a “voluntary exit option” to select full-time staff.

“We are in the initial planning stages for the next budget and [the buyouts are] part of that process, which won’t be finalized until well into the new year,” spokesperson Sean Coffey told CBC Hamilton.

Coffey added that the buyout applications — open to certain full-time administrative, faculty, and support staff — will remain available until the end of January 2026.

📌 Offered a Buyout?
Non-unionized employees at Mohawk College shouldn’t accept a voluntary severance package before speaking with our firm. In some cases, workers could be owed far more compensation if they’re fired or let go involuntarily.
