More than 50 jobs are to be axed at Careers Wales, a union has said.
UNISON - one of the UK's largest trade unions - has said that 60 jobs will be lost at Careers Wales.
A spokesman from UNISON said that Careers Wales - which provides information on employment - has written to it to "trigger formal consultation process over the proposed redundancies".
Jeff Baker, UNISON regional organiser, said: “The government’s plans don’t make any sense. You have a great success story in Careers Wales, which helped 75,000 people of all ages find work last year, yet multi-million pound cuts to its budget are devastating the organisation.
"Quality careers advice helps people into work but those giving that advice are themselves faced with the sack.
"Welsh Government hasn’t concluded its strategic review with Careers Wales and by slashing funding to that organisation, it’s forcing Careers Wales to sack people and its future is threatened.
"This is a ridiculous way to plan and fund a key public service."
