Wonderful partners and excellent bakers! Check out their cafe and our student work!

[Ayrshire College @AyrshireColl]

We have partnered with @YMCAPlusKillie on a work experience programme for supported learning students at its new Community Cafe. The students will gain practical experience in barista training, baking, food prep, customer service and kitchen portering. https://t.co/BOLh9ixLFf

Partners are important!
Some of our @ayrshirecoll students are now ready to leave our provision and find their next steps in the wider community. Our Partners in Transition event helps exactly with that. Thanks to all our partners who helped make today’s event a success!

When innovation meets art, we become creative!
Schools pupils in our @AyrshireColl transition class tried VR headsets for the first time. They immersed themselves in the paintings of Van Gogh. It certainly got creative in class afterwards! https://t.co/jyi0UlUqKz

Well done @AyrshireColl students and a big thanks to @ChrisBoyce37+ @SDS_sport for organising a fantastic cross-campus boccia festival supported by lecturers in supportive education, @johnmct Sports students +external support workers. A fab working with others + well-being event!

[Chris Boyce @ChrisBoyce37]

The @AyrshireColl Boccia festivals are a joy to be a part of. They are a perfect example of our college’s importance in the community. All of Scotland’s colleges are essential and they are under threat. Get behind your local college. They need your support. #lovescotlandscolleges
