Supporting COMMUNITIES WE ARE PUTTING THE FOCUS ON COMMUNITIES, FOR EXAMPLE IN CUMNOCK AND THE GARNOCK VALLEY. Working with partners like Skills Development Scotland, the Job Centre, and the council, our ‘Focus on your Community’ newsletters highlight short courses in the towns and villages in different parts of Ayrshire to help people to develop their employability skills. Looking at inspirational stories from local Ayrshire College students, the aim of the campaign is to help communities see the wide range of courses the College has to offer, e.g. short courses, Modern Apprenticeships, courses for school pupils, as well as full-time courses. Courses are designed to meet demand from employers in Ayrshire and beyond, and we are committed to increasing opportunities for people in every community in Ayrshire.  “We are committed to increasing opportunities for people in every community in Ayrshire.”  The magazine of Ayrshire College 23
