KILMARNOCK is set to host the first Ayrshire Innovative Projects Showcase.

The event on November 18 will celebrate over £700,000 of funding for transformative projects across Ayrshire.

Taking place at Ayrshire College in Kilmarnock, from 9.30am to 1pm, the showcase will feature projects from sectors including hair and beauty, construction, childcare, and more.

Graeme Dey MSP, minister for higher and further education, and minister for veterans, will be attending.

Attendees will hear from pupils and educators about the impact of these projects.

They will also be educated on how these initiatives are better preparing young people for the workforce, and how you can play a role in shaping the next generation of talent.

Tickets are free and can be reserved online here.
