GRIMSBY Institute staff have been told that a consultation on redundancies will begin on Monday.
Staff received the letter yesterday, telling them a meeting will be held about a reorganisation as the Institute tries to plug a £2-million funding gap due to Government cuts.
The college previously said it would offer voluntary redundancies and job shares in order to avoid compulsory job losses for its 1,300 staff – which includes those at other campuses.
A spokesperson for the Grimsby Institute Group said: "A number of staff have today been informed of group consultation meetings on Monday and Tuesday, June 3 and 4.
"These meetings are being held to discuss the proposed reorganisations of some curriculum areas and one business support area.
"All the meetings will contain information about proposed changes and, for those staff affected, about the support they can access.
"If any staff have any questions a list of useful contacts will be provided."
A spokesperson for the University and College Union said: "The Government's punitive cuts agenda is causing problems for colleges across the country but we don't believe knee-jerk cuts are the answer.
"It is hugely important in tough economic times that people have access to education."
